its just a marketing gimic to uphold brand creed.

they did the same thing with the mk6 golf gti and the mk2 Octavia rs.
same engine, same transmission, however:-
GTi = 155 kW
RS = 147 kW

Stage 1 APR/Revo/etc etc tune brings both to the same level.
I thought the safe torque level of the DQ250 was around the 400Nm level whilst most Stage 1 tunes of the Mk 7 Golf R (same engine as the 206 TSI) go well beyond this?
