The new VW Golf R has 316bhp, will drift*

*Drift mode and special Nürburgring setting are optional. Would you spec them?

Only thing about that that says R to me is the exhaust tips, I still firmly believe 4 is too many for any hatchback. But that front is boring imo

Bring back the lovely flared arches of the Mk4 I say...

Cue the VAG haters, but I think it’s grand. I expect the more you see of it the better it will get too. The interior especially is fantastic.

 

[trev 1515]

It’s just so bland

 

[veedubnoodle]

Much prefer that to the front bumper on the GTI! Also seems like the wheels fit the arches better too?

Would need to see one in real life though as the new GTI looks terribly under-wheeled in person.

Be interesting to see if they flood the market with these like they did with the Mk7 R. Lease deals ahoy?

Its the least bad looking version of the
Mk8 ive seen.

Money doesn’t buy taste apparently

 

[Lyons]

Lol, what’s wrong with it?

@Lyons The wheels and the stance!

@Lyons The wheels and the stance!

Thats what makes it much better than when it's dull and standard!

 

[Lyons]

It’s literally just lowered with bigger wheels! Have we become THAT boring that we’re even complaining about that now?!

 

[TheDaniel]

I just dont like the wheels and I've never been into the whole aggressive fitment thing. A car is for driving not just airing out at dubshed once a year lol

[TheDaniel]

MK2s are the nicest shape Golf IMO and that is beaut.

I have that rake, you must have borrowed yours from a site too

More related to the thread though, seen a new (2020 or newer?) S6 estate there in a carpark through the week, had very basic looking weels on it and it just sat there like any old derv model, didn't look special at all unless you noticed the badge and looked in at the unreal seats! Was very disappointing
