Surely 500+Nm is just stupid on FWD? It'll be interesting to see how it drives according someone not from APR

Probably not too different from a stage 2 Pirelli/Ed35.

Robably not too different from a stage 2 Pirelli/Ed35.

I've driven a Mk6 ED35 stage 2 making ~212fwkw, so not too dissimilar to these numbers. You can't describe that car's performance without use of more profanity and expletives than are appropriate on a public forum, so that bodes very very well for the Mk7 GTI boys.

Wait till you drive it

I'm looking at an S3, Guy - can't wait to see the insane numbers you guys manage with a K04!

I am aware that the Golf 6 GTI's have the infamous wastegate rattle. Today I noticed that around 2500rpm a similar sound that the Mark 6 did. Given that this version of the EA888 has an electric wastegate, it is still possible to get a wastegate rattle.
Anyone else had this noise in the Golf 7 GTI's?

Now the product is released, I can put up a pic of our own in house dyno's. It worked out to be with 1 - 2% of the US & German measured results 112nm & 47kw hub delta.

P.S. we already have better numbers out of the S3 / Golf R, so release of that shortly will be awesome!

Hitler is not impressed, he spent a bundle on his Mk6 GTI tune!

Lol. Awesome!

Haha, hilarious.

I created one of these clips once to give crap to some people at work so I know the work that goes into setting one up.

And for any history buffs out there the original movie Downfall is definitely worth watching, really well put together.
