golf R

tough choice i reckon...if they bring out the scirocco...provided its awd. do you stick with your roots and go the golf...or do you switch to the dark side but you get an arguably fatter and lower car.

Scirocco for sure.

The plus side about a 24 month wait means its another 24 months get saving.

Would love to get my hands on one of these in 2011.

i read somewhere, that the one in the future r20, will have a modified 2l engine in them. so if its anything like the 2l found in the pirelli edition, expect evan more gains.

As mentioned about a million times, it's pretty certain its the 200kW 2.0T used in the current Audi S3.

Current information has it as the TTS engine (201kw) not the S3 (188kw). By the time the R20T launches it is more likely to be a new version of the A4/Q5 engine that has many new features.

yeah sorry thats the one....i knew it was 200kW anyway

The new gen 2.0T motors as now seen 1st in the A4 and Q5 has moved away from the K03/K04 turbo models and are using IHI turbos.

This coupled with many other internal changes will likely see much more tuneability for the next gen going forward.

Base power now starts at 155kw/350NM. Chip alone should see around 200kw. Oettinger's 1st pass at it already has it 11kw more than GTI chipped.

R20T likely (I'm hoping) to get this new gen motor suitably enhanced to make 200+kw.

Also since the Q5 has a 7 speed DSG hooked up to this new 2.0T it may be the option for the R20T as well. Only problem is both the new A4 and Q5 uses it in longitidunal setups not transverse as was the MK5 R32.

A good set of coilovers and it would be an absolute track weapon!

Will the IHI turbo's spool a lot slower, meaning boost on a 3K+. That's the advantage with the KKK turbo's, they were early spooling for boost on earlier and a large power band.

Not sure, but it makes 350NM from 1500-4200 rmin which indicates an early and very wide powerband with 155kw @ 6000rmin.
