New Golf R400 concept video
« on: October 19, 2014, 10:00:37 am »
Don't know if you all know about this already, but this is a good look at the new Golf R400 concept. At 400 horses it should be a beast, let's hope they make it!

As much as I'd love one of these, I think it'll be cheaper to convert my mk5 to 4wd, rebuild the engine with forged internals and larger turbo, add some huge brakes and full tweak the chassis (what an excuse!). However, it's one of the best looking Golfs after the mk1 GTI. :happy2:

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

This should hold its value fairly well since its a special edition.

Although the R400 body kit is sweeeet!
