the weight is not correct
the new Golf VII GTI weighs 1.351 kg, thatīs 2,979 lbs the R will weigh more |

It is the 280 ft lbs of torque that will make it move...
Truthfully, though, you can surpass those numbers today with just an OBDII flash of the current Golf R. So they are not pushing it at all. |

That said, there is a smoothness to the R powerplant that I don't have. |

If current R turns out to be decently reliable I will head back into a VW showroom for a DSG R only. I miss the DSG. Was the only thing on my MKV that did not fail. I am kinda maybe excited about that CC shooting brake concept, tho.

My dealer has told me verbally that he would not void my warranty if I do mild mods. He races his R routinely and has it done up to the hilt. Does that mean that VW will listen to the manager of my dealer. Who knows. I am on the verge of trying a Stage I APR flash, but have not done it yet. I only have 1800 miles on my R and it is really just a fantastic car to own and drive. If a really good legacy GT does not come out, or a equally tempting STI, I may have bought my last Subaru. Now I may buy my wife another OUtback,as they are just spectacular cars.
But yes, I like my R that much. If only Subaru would up the game on the refinement a bit. Guess I am getting old. |

2650, AWD, and 268 hp... I'd be all over that. After the first year depreciation of course .

2650 is never gonna happen. The doors weigh that much.

Come on, you're smarter than that. The HP will be the deciding factor in out-right acceleration potential.
The low-end power will make for just that, a punchy low-end around town. Which of course is a nice thing to have. |
