Golf R's are dipping into the 9's here. As a base for modding - incredible value. M2 still has a manual option and that 6 cylindee has so much potential. RS3 tuning is a thing now. A45s is the nicest cabin to be in.
I dont know, the M2 kind of made the GT4 RS look ordinary, we allready know its impractical. I would prefer a basic 911...

With a/any significant power and torque hike many of us will be looking at it but I’m sure it will come with a ridiculous price and minuscule production run.

Having recently sold this, it has my interest.

Good for 6-7k premium, for 20k I'll have a BT build and the calipers painted yellow. And I'm all for special editions btw. But back in the day they came with real value, such as in the case of the ED30 GTI, where you got a beefier engine (strengthened internals), bigger turbo, bigger and more special wheels, deeper front splitter, more pronounced rear valance, all painted, making the 30hp bump the last on your list for an extra 5k. Compare that to today's deals. If it's going to be 20k for a few aero bits, calipers painted blue and some power bump, which is supposedly going to be significant so let's say what, 50hp?, out of a motor that can easily and 100% reliably handle twice as much, I mean, run people!!

£80K+ fine if the M2 x-drive and the A45s, at £60K, didn't exist.

Rather like the new MB CLA. About £20K over priced.

 

Price is ridiculous for the RS3, even this special edition, and here I thought the A45s was overpriced. If that's the case, I agree with the journalist it'll go out with a bang alright, but price included, just not sure how much of a bang you're gonna make when the salesman says "and that will be £82,000 sir", before extras. Best be prepared from the night before, talk to yourself say "first thing in the morning I'm going to dump some money because I just don't want it anymore".
