golf R

The looks seem a bit too similar to the normal golf

And i think only one question matters now, will it sound as good as the old VR6 engine?

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

As pointed out it would be faster anyway stock for stock being a lighter car, but dollar for dollar you putting two turbos on would cost a lot more.

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

It still the same time to 100km\h as the MK4 R. I dont see how the extra HP and Nms are helping

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 ......
