Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[franjae]

I still prefer the look of this R to that of the snout-look Volvo V40 or Merc A45. There's only so much you can do to a car if the basic shape remains. Unless you squash it but then you would get the Scirocco....

Not sure if that Blue colour is the same as the previous Golf R or slightly lighter in colour?

Nice. I like the dual LED DRLs.

Miss the centre tail pipe tho.

Interesting that they have removed any fog lamps/led strips and just gone for the full integration in the headlight assembly.

Is that a cooler behind the front-side air dam like the 9n3 GTI's had?

Part of me prefers blue because it's more distinguished (definitely preferred blue for the Mk5 and 6 R) but then there's more of me that thinks the Mk7 R looks much better in white (even if that means it'll look more similar to all those white GTI's that'll be around).

I'm assuming there will be a bunch of threads here with Mk7 R OEM wheels for sale though.

I really like the grey actually. At least in the non-realistic configurator, anyway.

I'd be happy with the 18s.

Any ideas on price? I recently started looking at Golf R vehicles in general and it got me thinking about my future car for fun drives. Just wondering how expensive used mk6 Golf R cars go for and what would be the new expected price of the mk7 Golf R? VW Aus already removed the mk6 Golf R so I have no clue on price.
