Pics of R20.....
« on: September 10, 2009, 09:20:07 pm »
Not sure if this has been posted, but 1st time seen a pic of what the R20 may well resemble.
 Looking too good so far, 25k for base model isnt too bad for what it is compared to a mk6 GTi

Am liking those alloys :happy2:

that pic/article's been out since Feb 09!!!

only what the AE photochoppers think it may look like. Although nice, the real thing will be a lot less subtle in my eyes.

Only a few more days before the actual pics appear from the Frankfurt motor show.

Yes i've seen these pictures, shes lovely !!!

They wheels, im unsure, maybe willl look better in the flesh.

Will be very interesting to know what the future modding holds for this car...

i.e what its remapping potential can be   :driver:


If it IS 4 wheel drive and you can map it to 350+bhp, it will be a serious killer !  :jumping:

Looking forward to this, am ready to spec mine up as soon as the release date comes round - I have had the 'R32 replacement' order in for nearly 3 years now!!(in fact I have two on order, but a customer of mine is having the other).  Has to be 4wd to maintain my interest.

Pics/photoshop look great mind

Much prefer the look of it to the Mk6 GTI but, to use someone else's term, the wheels look "Gash!!".

These are the pictures my dealer showed me not so long ago when collecting my car, he also said that its 100% FWD so no 4WD on the new R

I do like it, well its growing on me!!

If this holds true, the colonies will finally have one over on the Europeans!  We are officially slated for haldex in our R20!  woot!

Check the Scirocco R Rich, 265ps and FWD  :P

I would place a reasonable amount of money it ain't going to be RWD  :grin:
