When are these r400s due to be on the roads?

[rdfcpete]

It so needed the 5 cylinder Audi engine from the RS3. Imagine that noise (real noise) in a Golf 

This ^. 

I know it's wrong, but it's right

Well it's good that VW seem to be committed to doing the Clubsport (would absolutely love one!), but I wonder if the R400 will ever be built, with all the emissions scandals and all - I'd have thought they've already scaled back any non core development spend.

To echo flashp & rdfcpete - the 5 cyl from the RS3 in a Golf would be immense. I reckon the 'Scene' will build this car anyway in some form...

Hope they release the R420, it does seem uncertain during the current climate, but I'd like to wager not an awful lot is too much different from the 7R in reality.
Perhaps a lot of the model specific parts have been manufactured already..?

Production of the R420 seems necessary

[MC71]

Seen this on a few forums and Facebook, R370....

[Dave J]

There's so many right things to that car, which are spoiled. IMHO, get rid of the purple and the cadiz wheels, and that would be an epic R...

Steve at Stattler up the road from me has done just that - 5cyl turbo in a mk6. Not sure if it's finished, it looked very much mid-project when I saw it in the summer.

Steves Golf RS is almost ready, just cosmetic bits being added now.

I need to find an excuse to call in soon then for a nosey!

No, no, no and err no!

Stage 2+ on the new R gets you to 400bhp and 400lbft now anyway.

You can also buy the full R400 front and rear kit for under a grand.
