Never mind that a prototype car doesn't have the looks of the finished car - this is the coming R.
I still prefer the unassuming innocence of the MK5 GTI over the MK6 and MK7.
maybe im missing something, but not sure how anyone could effectively/properly "judge" what appears to be a test mule, and has GTI brakes, etc... just because there are quad exhausts doesn't make it an R... as with most of these things, have to reserve judgement till actual model pictures are obtained of the final product.
It's different from the base and GTI models in other pics, and the captions talk about the specs of the next R. So I'll go out on a limb and say it's an R, even if it is a preliminary testing version.maybe im missing something, but not sure how anyone could effectively/properly "judge" what appears to be a test mule, and has GTI brakes, etc... just because there are quad exhausts doesn't make it an R... as with most of these things, have to reserve judgement till actual model pictures are obtained of the final product.
the ones posted in this thread. front bumper is different, as is the exhaust. The captions specifically call it the R, and talk about it having 290hp and a 7 speed DSG.which pics exactly?? I'm not seeing anything that looks different than the GTI they've been testing and the initial link is of a longer looking station wagon thing...
you don't say. It does give an idea what the next one will look like, though. Final product will certainly be different.preliminary testing can definitely = not production looking, by a long shot.

Its always hilarious to me when people judge a car that (1 they've never seen in person and (2 haven't actually driven.
Man is the Internets a cruel judge!
