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

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

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.

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

Wheels look gorgeous.
