Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

No radar/camera shown on the front yet either

I'm pretty certain that those rims would be the optional ones, since the marketing text that Golf7 posted mentioned 18" wheels as standard, and those pictured look bigger than that.

Yeah but the 'Cadiz' wheels come in both 18" and 19" sizes. Apparently there's another 19" optional wheel named 'Pretoria'. I hope the Pretoria wheels are the same one seen on the Nurburgring testing car. They actually look really good.

I hope these are the 'Pretoria' wheels. Just saying..

You can see the details way better in this photo. Notice the fins on the side of the bumper. Doesn't look too bad.

Kerb weight will be interesting, might be more chubby than MK6...

Looks like the R has LED turning indicators within the headlight housing?

I agree does not look that aggressive (GTI appears to be more aggressive in design) but I still like the look regardless.

These new pictures have now officially blown my mind.

All I can say is *YAWN*

Toyota makes their camry sportivo's look more agressive.

What's more important, the drive or the looks?

If you want to pimp your ride, I'm sure there will be plenty of 3rd party kits you can bolt on.
