Stuff the GTI, we'll go for one of these thanks!

Me likey the specs very much, especially weighing much the same as the GTI and shooting to 100 in around 5 sec!

I really like the kit design including the LED daytime running lights and downforce improvements, but really dislike the wheels and baseball cap style rear spoiler.....thats thing is huge! luckily its only a render

The estimated price tag of GBP25,000 (3-door) works out about AUD$55,000. generally we get it a bit cheaper so will we see this thing come out just shy of $50K?? That's enticing!

If thats real....that is my next car....no questions.

They are always toned down between render and production so i reckon not a bad look.

Must admit if they ditch the r32 i'll be looking at an audi a3/4 3.2ltr when its time to ditch the bora... I'm a v6 man, give me that smooth torque and effortless drive

Nice looking car though.

i'm pretty confident 200kW and AWD will be quite effortless. then just get an APR chip and away you go.....world eating monster! I can't think of an N/A V6 that would keep up with that, even after chipping.

APR quotes Stage 1 chip power to be 239kW/430Nm (taken from the 8P Audi S3 section on the website). I'd imagine the Golf R20T will be the same as that after chipping. Anything from the other chip manufacturers yet?
