Don't know if you all know about this already, but this is a good look at the new Golf R400 concept. At 400 horses it should be a beast, let's hope they make it!

Thought I seen some where it is going into production
-
It's looking likely according to people on the R forum
-
Looks like deffo going into production for release in spring 2016!
Limited numbers etc
Depending on price ive already decided that its going to be a gift from me to me :laugh:
-
That's good news then!
I'm gonna have to start buying some more lottery tickets! :laugh:
-
As much as I'd love one of these, I think it'll be cheaper to convert my mk5 to 4wd, rebuild the engine with forged internals and larger turbo, add some huge brakes and full tweak the chassis (what an excuse!). However, it's one of the best looking Golfs after the mk1 GTI. :happy2:
-
This should hold its value fairly well since its a special edition.
-
Read a wee bit about these, very nice!
-
Read that this are going to sell for 50k which is a lot of money
-
Mk7 golf R's can also make 400+bhp now. :wink:
For around £3.5k
Intake, exhaust, map and a hybrid TTE turbo.
Although the R400 body kit is sweeeet!

Not a chance id pay 50k
Rather a immaculate used mk7 R in about 2 years time :happy2:

That's quite an old video, this months Car magazine has latest info as a 2015 release.
It will be £40K and called the R420, form an orderly queue guys....

Must have a read of that :smiley:
-
How long after that do the replica bumpers appear on the market :signLOL: Its nice but unfortunately for me it is £40k :sad1:
-
Unfortunately for most of us!
-
Are they using a different Turb than the 7R? IF it's a tweaked 7R then it's quite expensive really.
I'm quite impressed by the GTI of the 7th gen, they really do map well:
Left hand lane Stage 1 GTI vs standard 7R.
-
Power lost through transmission there from the 7R now let's see off the line :laugh:
-
It might be a tweaked turbo but there'll be various other engine upgrades you can be sure. The concept car also has a carbon roof to shed weight
I love comparasons like the one above as its no comparason...
The Gti is well beat, what would a stage 1 R do to it?
-
check out the boot handle at the beginning :signLOL:

Corrected that for ya.
I admit tuned vs standard isn't really fair, however, it's worthwhile to me as more people don't tune than tune, and it shows a simple stage 1 GTI is faster than the more expensive R, from a roll, where most people drive hard.
Getting back on track, it'll be interesting to know whether the R400 is a 500bhp monster with some software, or a maxed 7R with the same turb.
Boot handle has the reverse camera mate, you can do that on the Mk5...
-
That'll teach me not post whilst still half asleep!
-
You can get a decent GT-R for that kind of money.....just saying

Then pay half that again when something simple goes wrong with it! Alot to be said for a new car with Warranty :-)
R400 all the way for me if the price is right when it arrives!
