aww man... i wish there was more exclusivity to the body.. the mk6 R stands out much more than the mk7. liking the quad though.

Hopefully, they are doing it better than that! Lol.

Either that or saving everything for the RS....:laugh:

I'm assuming Its still a test mule, I mean, look at those long tips!

Maybe the better question is what stock exhaust is that and what engine does it normally pair up to? Maybe they are trying some motor that has been in a Golf and had to throw an existing exhaust on?

Thats exactly what they're doing.

I like it, ride height is perfect. Don't care for the mesh on the lower front grill, also need some sort of front lip or valence.

This! There's a thread about this already on the "TEX" vortex. This is prematurely speculation as this is not a complete build and vw will most likely tweak out some of designs as it gets closer to the launch date.

definitely too "plain" a wrapper so far, hoping it's a mule.... I do like the evolution of the shape though, I'll be watching closely to see what the US is offered and which direction I want to go by then.....into an "R", or into a GTD if it comes!!!

Could be, i'm thinking they're still working on the details so they just dumped the engine and Drivetrain on a regular Golf body to work that also.

Happens all the time.

This crearly is a test mule, doesn't even have side skirts... I remember I lol'd when I saw the test mules for the MK6 R...
By the "civilized" the looks of the MK7 GTI, and the likely 300hp powertrain on the R (from new S3) my guess is the final body for the R will have that aggressive theme and will be designed around a 3 door then adapted to 4.

Seeing that test mule now makes me wonder when they will roll it out. Historically VW and Audi always wait until the last model year for the good stuff.

Strangely enough this is REALLY early for a test mule for the R. Hoping it comes out sooner

I am new here. Still trying to figure out the terms but, I just bought a 2013 VW Golf R is this the golf mk7 R ? Not sure since have only had it a week.

 

[grambles423]

The 2013 Golf R is NOT the MK7. It is still the MK6

regarudless of the fact that this is probably a test mule, i am gonna start saving as much as I can for this car. I cant wait. and wont it debut in like 2016?

Who knows at this point. But its a good assumption to believe it'll be roughly two years after startup in keeping with the trend.

if they got a test mule out already, I'm wondering if it will be closer to mid 2014.

Test mules were out for the MK6 around the launch period.
