Most importantly is that the aus R will be detuned to 206kws

Haven't the pics and link to the specs already been posted in the existing Golf R thread??

Oh man, each generation of R gets whees that are harder and harder to clean.
Also that front lip really needs to be more agressive, i see an aftermarket add on being used a lot!

Interesting to note the split quad exhaust, must have had a few complaints about the lack of towing option with the centre mounted ones.

Prices of MK6 R's just went up. That looks very tame, especially the front bumper. Looks like a standard Golf with big wheels, xenons and a sik quad exhaust tip haha.

the quad exhaust, and not being in the centre wrecks it for me.
+ the lack of DRLs to differentiate it from a normal golf.

Will be sticking to my Mk6 R for the full 5yrs I think!

Not tempted by the Mk7 R being nearly 1 second quicker to 100kph?

"it probably won't stray too far from the Mk. VI Golf R’s pricing, which was from $49,990 plus on-road costs."

sounds about right considering the 8V S3 will come in around 60k... Might even be a bit cheaper (thus pushing the price of the GTI down.... Maybe?)

If I was into my track days etc then yes definitely, but unfortunately not just for Sydney's ****ty roads & drivers

Needs to be a lot more aggresive!!
