Ace, but 50k is way too much.

That's €50k and that that converts to around £35,800

Standard mk7 R prices may suffer for it though!
Nah stick with the 2.0 leave the 2.5 in the nose heavy thirsty RS3
3.9 seconds really is super car territory :laugh:

Could say that about any car though mate
Could say id rather a turbo R32 and blow it away or a heavily modified vw polo :rolleye: :laugh:

That will be 1 hell of a car if they get it right :smiley:In hindsight I agree with that statement regarding the engine. But I hope they give it some real noise not this synthesized BS.

also interesting to see what bhp it pushes out when its been mapped
Definitely this; I find it quite unlikely VW would simply max out the 7R, especially if they are doing an extended run of the R420... there's going to be some "headroom" in software terms... at the very least 450... ...500 if they map as well as the 7R does...
Are the R420 and 7R using the same turbo though, that would give us a clue before hand?

3.9 seconds is slower than a Stage 1 'Normal' R - they can do 3.7 seconds to 60 (repeatable) :jumping: - and that's with 370-380bhp
Even the standard R has been proven to beat it's 'book' 0-60 of 4.9 seconds. Auto express Magazine managed 4.6 seconds with a passenger, some luggage, tank of fuel and streaming wet weather :laugh:
Enough to convince me to order one :wink:

If missus allows it I really want to get one
Not been a new car on the market that ive really wanted to own for quite few years
Last few were the ep3 type R when that was released and obviously the mk5 Gti :happy2:

Gotta say though, if single turbo it's gonna be lag tastic!!!
But if they do twin turbo, now that could be very interesting! :driver:

Unlikely. It will have TTRS 4 pots minimum... maybe RS4 type 8 pots i would imagine!

At a sub £40K price I'd suspect 4 pots personally. But here's to hoping its 6 or 8 pots borrowed from the family.

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

When are these r400s due to be on the roads?
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...
Post by: Scottymon on December 11, 2015, 11:48:55 pm
Perhaps a lot of the model specific parts have been manufactured already..?
Production of the R420 seems necessary :evilgrin:

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.When are these r400s due to be on the roads?
