Pretty Bland.

+1.

The look for the standard Golf is fine but that same look doesn't work for a GTI or R20 model - you need something special to differentiate it.

just a mule, to put you off
to me its what the next R32 would look like (if they do one) coz of the no fogs.
i bet thats got that 5cyl in it, and id say 4wd. me thinks
those brakes look big

It looks like the R20 is the real deal then :jumpmove:

Post by: chungster on April 03, 2009, 08:28:04 pm: looks very steady!

brakes look the same, 345mm items.

need the bodykit to be a bit more attention grabbing, and perhaps 19" wheels too!

Title: Re: R20 GTi spotted
Post by: chungster on April 03, 2009, 09:07:22 pm: i would keep mine longer if it was an ED30, but its not, so the R20 will have to do when it arrives!

Post by: pazz on April 04, 2009, 09:20:34 pm: Wouldnt this be stepping on the toes of the S3? Being 4WD and putting out more power? Cant see that happening to be honest. The S3 has had bad press already with reagrds to things like this.
Title: Re: R20 GTi spotted
Post by: billyboy on April 04, 2009, 09:29:09 pm: Thing is, this could be a mule for anything like, seat cupra, skoda vrs, anything VAG

Not when Audi will have the RS3 with 340bhp to move the level up another notch!!

Post by: cossy on April 05, 2009, 06:27:33 pm: Not sure how the kerb weight would be the same as a GTI & still have 4WD?

Ford had the problem with the new RS & decided weight saving & 2WD. :laugh:

Hope they have changed the clutch for the 270 bhp!!!! :ashamed:
Title: Re: R20 GTi spotted
Post by: icenutter on April 05, 2009, 09:00:58 pm: Guys, do you not reckon that since they have bothered to put a tdi badge on the back they would have swapped the rims for some GT Sport ones as well? Plus it's not exactly in the most inspiring colour.

With some BBS 19"s and in white it'd look much better :happy2:

I do reckon that 270 bhp is going to look a bit weak on paper; 300 would be much more like it.

Post by: chungster on April 05, 2009, 09:14:41 pm: it'll remap to 350 hopefully :signLOL:
