Am I wrong in thinking the R400 (or 420, whichever) is the 40th birthday anniversary edition Golf? Or are VW doing a separate ED40 next year?

The ED40 will be a GTI, and as such, FWD.

The R is another 'brand' all together.

That will be 1 hell of a car if they get it right  :smiley:
Standard mk7 R prices may suffer for it though!
Nah stick with the 2.0 leave the 2.5 in the nose heavy thirsty RS3

3.9 seconds really is super car territory  :laugh:

3.9 seconds is slower than a Stage 1 'Normal' R - they can do 3.7 seconds to 60 (repeatable)   :jumping: - and that's with 370-380bhp

Even the standard R has been proven to beat it's 'book' 0-60 of 4.9 seconds. Auto express Magazine managed 4.6 seconds with a passenger, some luggage, tank of fuel and streaming wet weather  :laugh:

Enough to convince me to order one  :wink:

alot of money for a hatchback but its a lovely car.

Id rather a mk6 golf R modified and blow it away! :D

Could say that about any car though mate
Could say id rather a turbo R32 and blow it away or a heavily modified vw polo  :rolleye: :laugh:
Your missing the point that its going to be an absolute animal straight out the box

totally understand. hell of a car. im sure if we owned one though we wouldnt keep it standard. well not for long lol

3.9 secs is for 0-62mph, so 0-60 may well be around 3.5 if the OEM claim is conservative

Gotta say though, if single turbo it's gonna be lag tastic!!!

But if they do twin turbo, now that could be very interesting!  :driver:

Has anyone managed to get their name down at a dealership for this yet? I'm going to go for it if I can get one of the allocated orders. But too early to tell how many there will be.
