    I found that video rather underwhelming ?

    In fact, the car is rather boring in looks as well ?

    I don't believe it either but everywhere I've read seems official- with S Tronic I believe. That is more fuel efficient than the Golf GTI 6.

    If the MK7 R inherits this engine it should have more shove coming on lower in the rev range compared to the current R. Torque figures: 380Nm between 1800-5500rpm. Impressive.

    Audi Australia’s Anna Burgdorf claims there have been no suggestions of a special hot-climate detune for our market for the new S3.

    We'll have to wait and see

    I don't think the S3 looks that good tbh :s

    Like you Candyman, a little underwhelmed! Performance sounds good though!

    221kw stock at 20psi. That's going to be tuning heaven. My money's on 250 ++ kw even with just a touch more boost.

    They had to raise the bar though with the Merc A45 AMG coming out. Looking forward to next year !

    250+kw peak power, and 380NM+ from 1800rpm? Bring on the next R - I do believe I have my upgrade path.

    Wheels Magazine (November) suggests Golf R will have 200kW and 350Nm. Surely not!
    The GTI is going to have 169kW and 350Nm too.

    I'm not happy if this is true...

    I think this time around the .:R is going to have less than the S3. The S3 sales kinda sucked thanks to the current .:R being cheaper and exactly the same. They'll have to give some sort of incentive to go with the S3 and that'll most likely be the power boost.

    Agree with a few of you guys, very underwhelmed. Power seems good though.

    As long as it's mechanically identical, ~250kw should be just a tune away.
