Are they using a different Turb than the 7R?  IF it's a tweaked 7R then it's quite expensive really.

I'm quite impressed by the GTI of the 7th gen, they really do map well:

Left hand lane Stage 1 GTI vs standard 7R.

It might be a tweaked turbo but there'll be various other engine upgrades you can be sure. The concept car also has a carbon roof to shed weight
I love comparasons like the one above as its no comparason...
The Gti is well beat, what would a stage 1 R do to it?
TDI GT Sport gone
Mk 6 R now :-)

Corrected that for ya.
I admit tuned vs standard isn't really fair, however, it's worthwhile to me as more people don't tune than tune, and it shows a simple stage 1 GTI is faster than the more expensive R, from a roll, where most people drive hard.

Getting back on track, it'll be interesting to know whether the R400 is a 500bhp monster with some software, or a maxed 7R with the same turb.

Boot handle has the reverse camera mate, you can do that on the Mk5...

Then pay half that again when something simple goes wrong with it! Alot to be said for a new car with Warranty :-)
R400 all the way for me if the price is right when it arrives!
