I like the quad tail pipes, not so sure about the lightweight alloys.

1200kg and I like the exhausts and 286bhp sounds fun

That will be bone dry weight

I agree theres no way thats a wet weight. Its got to be heavier than the GTI for starters. Bigger brakes and haldex will make sure of that.

Christ thats light, it looks great in black aswell. Wish i had the funds

Cant wait to hear one with this "louder sportier noise"

I much preferred the twin pipes of the previous Rs. A pipe per cylinder just seems OTT to me.

Wheels look gorgeous.

If the Golf R isnt priced properly, then many people will with the base S3 starting at just over £29k!!
