[Dubtuner]

[berserker]

Im really surprised that we got this to be honest, and thank fricken god six speed manual

[Alex_715]

I'm surprised I was thinking it would be another DSG only car.

ive already ruined 3 pair of pants!

[65dunebuggy]

I found my next car!!! 4 door for the kids, AWD for the Iowa winters and 265hp 6 speed trans for me. I just hope some of my mkv parts will transfer over. mainly coilovers and front and rear cayenne brake calipers

[MrFlippant]

*sigh* Seriously, you VW people are weird.

[OrangeDUB]

It's rare that we get a good car like this instead of a watered down version of something only avail overseas. This is the R32 that we SHOULD have got when the mk5 r32 came out. They owed us...

[GetAwayFromMe]

Not a big fan of small cars but this looks nice

[roksax]

Woohoo!!

[Loccusst]

AND..........this would be the car I would sell my GTI for.



Sigh......damn you vw and your timing.

Sigh......damn you vw and your timing.

My thoughts exactly.. I was holding out for the Polo and when I bought my Golf, it was sounding like this was NOT coming overseas.

I'm really interested to see what colors they offer :) For something like this, hopefully more than the standard Blue, Black, Silver, Red shit.

Spring 2012...MINE!

Lack of AWD is the only thing I don't like about my MkVI GTI.

Question, though: Since they're using the 2.0T, how are they getting the higher stock spec numbers? Better OEM tune? Different engine (2.0TFSI vs 2.0TSI)? I hope all my stuff swaps out easy. :D

[Dubtuner]

s3 motor which means revised timing and fuel maps, k04, larger intercooler, better rods(not 100% on that)

Stronger internals, higher boost, & K04.

TSI of the Volkswagen Golf R

The EA113 series direct-injection petrol engine is used in the new Volkswagen Golf R; its turbocharger makes it very flexible and variable right up into the highest performance ranges. The 1,984 cm3 TSI's specific power is a respectable 100.3 kW / 136.6 PS per litre displacement, and its response is just as impressive. The engine's power can be spontaneously summoned in the blink of an eye throughout its speed range. The engine also impressively underscores its potential acoustically. Visually too: Its two chrome tailpipes can be seen at the centre of the bumper under the diffuser integrated there - an "R trait" that the previous model also displayed.

The in-line four-cylinder engine develops its tremendous propulsive power via a turbocharger (up to 1.2 bar boost pressure) with intercooling. The engine, with a weight of just 152 kilograms, is controlled by a fully electronic engine management system with E-Gas. The cylinders of the four-cylinder engine have been equipped with reinforcing bolts, unlike less powerful TSI versions. Also designed to be stronger are the connecting rods, so that they can reliably transfer the engine's high torque to the crankshaft. Last but not least the cylinder block was also reinforced to handle the aggressive engine forces.

FUCK YEAH!

That, plus a 100* tune, bolt-ons, and meth....howYOUdoin'?!

[LilRaverBoi]

:drool: Oh, HELLZ YES!! Super glad this made it over. About time we get something legit over here. And 6-speed only FTMFW! No more DSG.

[dudepal]

this makes me want to buy a new car... prob never gonna happen but it could. i have a yr to decide

[OrangeDUB]

I'd buy one used with 10k on it :D

Did they mention if it will have limited production like the R32's?

[bigrobsa]

5000 units here, 500 in Canada.

[anchovi777]

FUCK YEAH!

That, plus a 100* tune, bolt-ons, and meth....howYOUdoin'?!

exactly what i was thinking. minus the 100oct and meth.... 93oct. with bolt on's, exhaust. hell yes.. if they make it in imola, might seriously think about it.

[LilRaverBoi]

5000 units here, 500 in Canada.
LOL....Canada got F'ed in the A!

[GTIowa82]

nobody lives in canada... have you ever been up there... just miles and miles of nothing. of those 500, they'll only sell about 10. canucks only drive trucks with moose in the bed.

[stuckinames]

awesomely true tom. wish I lived up there.

[GTIowa82]

hell, i flew over quebec on my way home from germany one time.... flying over quebec was worse than driving across kansas or nebraska.... THERE WAS NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF MILES. no farms, no houses, no trees, no eskimos, no beavers, it was hell on earth.

[stuckinames]

I call that heaven. land minus the idiots

[stollen]

Haven't decided if I want one yet or not. I really want to know what is going to happen with the TT-RS and the 30th Anniversary Quattro. I know those will be significantly more expensive, but the Quattro is exactly what I have been wanting. If those get brought here and the price is through the roof, Golf R it is I guess.
