available for order now guys limited run of 75 cars. Now that is exclusivity.
0-62 in 3.7 seconds :surprised:
-
£50k for a Daewoo Lanos/Proton GTI lookalike? No thanks... :stupid: It may look nice (although no pics yet) and go well, but £50k :grin:
Think the 0-60 figure is a bit opptimistic too, 1500kgs and 395bhp :confused:

and thats the 2.0t at 3.9 secs :P

Im sorry but £50k :grin: :grin:
Makes me wonder what mine can do 0-60 with the back seats and spare wheel out etc. It did 4.7 secs to 60 with full interior and passenger at Inters last year but that was just Stage 1. I reckon I could be in the low 4's now im Stage 2+ :jumping:

That's depends if your turbo working :P

sure it will be a nice, well quick, car but 50k?! :stupid:
id much rather your car tom :happy2:

I guess this is to rival the Mitsubishi FQ400 which is also around the £50K mark.
Agree that the price is comical but if the performance figures are to be believed...i guess you're talking cars that cost a hell of a lot more than this to rival it performance wise. This Nissan skyline is around £60k i think so perhaps compared to this it's not badly priced.
Personally, for £50k i would be looking at something else.

You could buy the golf r :grin:

i was waiting for that :grin:

to be honest id much rather have a R straight to stage 2+ and loads of money left for beers

if were just playing the "whos got the biggest turbo" game then i'd be buying a tricked EVO 2nd/3rd hand, spending a wad to go warp speed then use the change to buy a 2nd hand porsche and fill it with hookers :laugh:

I guess there is a brand loyalty element as well. There are people who love Scooby's, VWs, Fords, etc. People will pay top prices for the biggest and fastest of a car brand they love.
The Focus RS500 is a good example at £35K!!! Crazy price for what is in essence a Focus but what a car. Ok...not £50k but 0-60 of 5.4 cannot quite match 3.7.
Would there be a number of deposits taken if VW released an R32 Turbo or a variant of the new Golf R with 400BHP at £50K and 0-60 times of sub 4 sec??? I bet there would!! :party:
What's a new Golf R with all the gubbins...around £40K? Add at least £10K for uprated brakes, suspension, engine mods (turbo, etc.), full uprated exhaust system, and a solid gold 3 year VW warranty...easily £50k surely? Much better build quality that a Scooby as well.

End of the day, Scoob or GTR? I know what I would have.. :wink:
-
Yes...saw a GTR the other day in Black. I almost did a sex wee!!! :ashamed:

There is a Matte Black GTR i sometimes see on the M20.
Now that is :drool: :drool: :drool:

75!!!! with a cosworth badge on, would not say no, 50k is silly money but all new cars seem silly to me at mo, most hot hatches are now pushing 30k with options that frankly should be stock, i have seen new meggys at 27!!! did not seem that long ago that car supermarkets were doing wrx for 14k and sts for 15K. seems a big hike to me or am i just a tight old yorkshireman? :signLOL:

u tight :signLOL:
