That would be the R400. Not sure of the chances it will arrive in Aus but fingers crossed!

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

You didn't read the linked article did you, according to OS reports the R400 introduction may not happen though that is not in Kable's piece....
<At the top of the petrol line-up will be a more powerful version of the four-wheel-drive Golf R, whose turbo 2.0-litre four-cylinder motor is said to develop the same 414bhp as the R400 concept first wheeled out at the 2014 Beijing motor show.>
Taken from here....

I should have been more specific in my wording as "a production version of the R400". There seem to be conflicting reports of its potential production - or a production version of that concept - depending on what you read and the source of that information.
If it's a 400BHP two litre all wheel drive Golf R that gets placed into production, there is a very good chance it has some DNA from the R400. Whether VW chooses to call it that for a production version of the Golf R or not remains to be seen.
That seems to be the root cause of both the speculation and the confusion. Sorry if I wasn't clearer in my post...

It's hardly surprising the facelift has so few extras. When the 2018 model comes out they're going to want to have as many 'new' features as possible to make it worthwhile for current owners to upgrade, and attract buyers to the new model. This includes the digital dash I guess, as seen in the 'all new' model Tiguan. The 2017 facelift is not the 'new' gen, so it probably won't get the new gen kit

It's optional, from that report. That's a plus!

I find it funny I started a thread like this and it got moved. I guess this is more relevant.
No mention of the Golf R though...
Here is a vid and there are plenty more on You Tube
