Pics of R20.....

Absolutely! The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Wanna see her in the flesh and test drive before forming a meaningful opinion.

At least this is a car one wants to test drive.

To VW agree with red robin earlier post this is how the new GTi should have looked.  not a fan of the Mk6 although this new R really seems to suit the R20.

Cannot wait to see this in the dealer will defiently get down there for a test drive.

....Race Haldex Controller an absolute essential imo (judged on R32), as is a Milltek (or similar), suspension tweaks, remap, change wheels (not too ken) and a few cosmetic details. Oooops! How much dosh!!?

Yup, there'll be a lot of instantly modded cars. Straight off my brakes and wheels would be on it too.

Jules you make me laugh all you ever do is come on here and get your self all upset when anyone dare post something negative about a R 32.
We have 5 or 6 R 32 owners who dont bat an eyelid, and yet you just go through the same routine every time. Which always ends in you saying yet but i would like to see them take me on in the rain.  
just relax dude the R 32 is a great car no matter how many times you prove to us that its not.  

Oh and by the way in that run i beat the r 32 by well over a second.  

 

I do it on other forums too mate, ive defended the GTI amongst morons who have no idea of its potential (they didnt believe an ED30 could be tuned to 300bhp + )

Besides i could take you if it rained  

Loving the look of this and never been happier to be wrong! Haldex FTW! This could replace the .:R, i just hope they offer the recaros!

Remember though guys, although the Offifical press pictures have been leaked, the official VW press release hasnt, so 4WD is still not confirmed.

I like the look of it though, but the performance is an issue. The quoted figures if it does indeed have 4WD are no better than a stock GTI.

[Jules86]

S3 engine mate so 330 bhp from a map, they dont want it to threaten the S3 stock.

Autoexpress are quoting 4WD however, a 0-62 time of 5.5 seconds. Which is better!!! 

[Jules86]

Sounds about right. The 32 is a little heavier and does 5.8 with less power so the R20 should be about 5.5.

[Jules86]

Wahoo!
