Guess that's how ABT got 370hp from it, even MTM are quoting 360hp  :surprised:

There supposedly a tuner in Germany that's got 450hp from an S3 with hardware... No link to that though...

Does anyone know how VW have improved the economy as well as increasing the power? They are quoting some crazy MPG figures for a 300BHP car... which IMO is one of the main reasons its more attractive than a Mk6 R.

I'll be test driving one when they are available and the early issues show no teething issues (which are inevitable on a new car)

Weight saving!!

also - less friction in the engine/ gearbox, more aerodynamic, better combusion in the cylinders etc. . .  :happy2:

Another improvement includes the addition of indirect injection to supplement the FSI direction injection system when operating under partial load. By utilizing this feature, this lowers consumption and particulate emissions, balancing the direct injection system that is utilized more efficiently at startup and under higher loads.

We''l see what the figures are in the real world as there is stop start in the mix as well

I'm sure I read a while ago that it'll have indirect injection as well as direct injection oh and they have a plastic sump  :sick:

If that's true....

 :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

However in the press release link above it says it has direct injection..  :driver:

Yes the sump is plastic but reinforced plastic it's tough.

Indirect injection is there to keep the valves clean

It might not get near them, actual and "claimed" figures are always poles apart in my experience, but who knows proof will be in the pudding as they say and I think manufacturers have had to change they way they come to these figures now to make them more accurate now?
It would be interesting to hear from any Mk7 Gti owners to see if they're getting anywhere near the combined 44mpg being claimed.

I've found Combined figures on my GTI's can be achieved. I would say take around 5 off the combined figure for a more accurate day to day mpg.

Economy is very dependent on driving conditions...stop/start driving kills mpg.

Got to remember that this is the second fastest hot hatch out there at the moment round the ring, so it is an impressive machine out the box.  :happy2:

Wish they made a Supercharged R32 so it wouldn't get such a slating... gave one some grief today, I was pulling on it, but hearing it at full chat was fun.

4th fastest "officially"

Slower than the megane
Slower than the mk7 GolfR
Slower than the a45 AMG

Do I genuinely believe a stock off the showroom floor megane sport would beat the m135i though , IMO no.

Where's the R's Ring lap info?

I can see a few claims to the time, but no info as to who set it (Sport Auto, VW, etc.)

If they've made the kind of progress they should have done, it's certainly in the right ballpark with that time.
Sideways yo!
