Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

Yep, saw the results on sat night, a dsg stage 2 mk6 R ran a 13.2 and a stock dsg mk7 R ran a 13.1. Very potent car with huge potential to build into a little monster!

I can't wait to see the results of the mk7 golf R from APR ...

If you want a good laugh, check this out: http://www.carsales.com.au/demo/details/Volkswagen-Golf-2014/AGC-AD-15972092/?Cr=7&sdmvc=1. Once displayed, click on the "Videos" tab. The selling dealer's brief "Comments" left me aghast.

Saw a white R on eastlink just then as I was getting off. White colour, man I tell yah, white looks bloody fantastic at night under the street lights with the LED tail lights.

No argument from me on that observation. White is a timeless colour, so easy to maintain and hides swirl marks the best, but I know it isn't popular amongst you trendies.

I'm with you - plus you don't get microwaved by heat absorption like you do with darker colours (although that might only be a problem for us Northerners) :p

White was better on the mk6 :p

I was expecting it to be a closer race than it was.. maybe if I was DSG too (my video btw)

Haha, not good "it has hazard lights to let other motorists know when your vehicle has a problem" ummm..
Not to mention all the r-line references everywhere (is just a body kit if r-line which this one ain't), the photo of the rear R badge with dirt all around it, not a well presented sales pitch!

guys went yesterday to APR and they show me a graphic of the R they are testing it looks impressive I can't remember all the numbers but I do remember that it said that the golf R stock has 204kw wheels power and after the tuning the nm was around the 500s impressive numbers I can't wait for them to show the oficial numbers but it will impress for sure.

Not sure I understand your statement. Is it 204kw at the wheels for stage 1 APR tune? You've said stock but then quoted a tuned torque value??
