Someone posted a slide in another thread showing HP figures for the Mk8's.. GTI was well below that, maybe something like 247? I don't remember the exact figure. R was up to something like 320-ish IIRC. Those figures are believable - "up to 296" for the GTI sounds like clickbait BS.

Would be nice if we get 328 HP. That's like a mild stage 1 tune. They don't seem to ever give us torque numbers.

How much do they weigh though, is my question.

The current TCR makes 286bhp so why would it be unbelievable for the new TCR (to which the article refers) to make 296bhp??

Was another Mk8 thread really necessary?

He said up to 296 HP for the GTI. And no another MK8 thread wasn't necessary.

If you're thinking of buying one 10HP might be useful information.

If you're not interested in buying either then I suppose the info isn't necessary.
