OMG the performance is really dissapointing. Give me a nice stretch of road and let me do a good launch and the new R will be beaten by the original
It looks nice

And in the UK, it's more expensive than the S3....

Really? more power and Nm and less weight. How could a R32 beat it? Performance figures are the same as the S3.

Well, it looks like Sharkie WILL be getting one, and the first in Aus as per his long standing contract (oh....well straight after all the VW techs and sales guys have smashed it to bits around the block 100 times)!

I will be taking a sleeping bag and tent and sleep next to it from the moment it arrives at the harbour to the moment I take delivery.

I will be making it very clear to them that I will sue their pants off (Austral's) that is if they dare let anybody touch it without my permission........ and I'm not kidding either.

It will be better than any previous R Golf in all aspects except 1 ..... the sound of the engine.

Its lighter, more powerful and has a new genenration 4Motion system. Its almost a full second quicker to 100km/h than the Mk5 ....

AND that is while it is still standard ....

The biggest attraction for me is the fact that for about $2K extra I will have at least 40kw and almost 100NM extra above stock and be looking at sub 5s 0-100km/h. You will need to spend $50K+ on a Mk5 R32 to get similar performance ......

Sharkie, I can imagine your car will be spending a lot of time with Guy.

Very jealous, this is an awesome machine.

LOL, yeah, it will have to fall in line behind the Tiguan though, thats planned to visit Guy in 200kms (or 2 months max) , (I've had it 3 months and have only done 800kms) so its overdue for its visit ..... which by the way will be quicker than a Mk5 R32 as well once it makes 200kw/400NM ........

Awesome work.
That is the plan for when i get my tig as well, just top bump it up to about 200kw.


What are you going to use the R for, track time or enjoyable driving etc?
