Golf R still getting rave reviews that's in stock form how about Stage 1 APR or JB1 talk about a cracker drive Top 5 cars on sale today | Autocar

With the cooler weather, I still get the biggest smile every time I hit the accelerator. Running JB1 and Stage 2+ type mods, this car is a bit of a weapon. Had a run with a friend in a Gallardo the other day, there was nothing in it between us. For a 60k car to hold its own with a machine like that, just goes to show it's a brilliant package - amazing bang for buck.

This article for a refreshed A3 includes some interesting info on the S3 which should translate to the R, given the engines are the same

New Audi A3 revealed

"Audi has managed to extract an extra 7kW and 20Nm for its performance-oriented S3, which is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with total power output now up to 228kW and 400Nm."

Wonder if they will still come up with the same detuning excuse for hot climates

Pretty sure they will, although there is a minute divergence between R & S3 since last year with the S3 nominating 210kW although I don't think anyone resolved why there was a difference.
