I'm going to get my missus on the game to get one of these. We all need to make sacrifices for the greater good.

My first mod would be to remove the gti badges and put r32 ones on as it should be from the factory!

If this car does make it into production (and I can't see how it won't given VW's intense competition right now), people like us will be queueing up at the parts desk for the manifolds and turbo bits

And I'd get in early because once VW cotton onto it, they'll whack the prices up like Mercedes did when MK2 Golf owners bought up all the Sprinter intercoolers. Went from £100 to £300 overnight, funny that!

I'm liking the short runner intake on that concept engine. Definitely an OEM way to help our motors to the magic 100hp/litre.

It's only 3 litres, so needs to be R30

Good point, well made

 

[simonp]

In BMW world that would make it an R35i

 

[Wiggsy]

The engine for the fabled "RS"?

 

[simonp]

Sods Law dictates that this engine will end up in the next RS3 and a Golf will never get a sniff of it...
