Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[XTC838]

The new S3 has just been released and going by previous history, the Mk7 Golf R may share its 221kW of power.

2013 Audi S3 packs 221kW of power

That S3 looks fantastic, and only 6.9l/100km... surely not.

nice

Going to be tough squeezing more power from that by the looks of things. Can't see Stage 1 software making 5kws being really popular for a thousand bucks.

Have to go straight to stage 2

Any room for going beyond 1.4bar (20psi)?

Man the S3 interior and exterior looks gorgeous.

Pfft 1.4bar..

Gav - there's always room for movement

The exhaust blips on over run are just horn

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 !
