Very interesting. There are rumors of this since at least the beggining of the year. But it was uncertain if they would release it or not. Seams like its going ahead after all.
Really hope it does get released! It does seem as though that as VW have spoken about to the magazine it gives us a good chance that they will go ahead with the development and ultimately the production of a MK8.5 Golf R Clubsport! Very exciting 😊🎊
@@SamAustin Golf 400R woulda sold out for sure, there’s def a market for 5Cyl turbos and hot hatches in the US, but these manufacturers be trippin 🤦🏿♂️💯
You are right, weight does make a difference. If this is to be a legacy model, why not include composite bonnets, body panels, strip out air conditioning, almost sound deadening ….. even suspension parts and thinner side and rear glass.? Given the problems that all car producers are experiencing with E.V.s, such a halo vehicle would be a great swan song for half a century of Golf’s. Positive publicity too….
As someone who isn't super familiar with the Golf family up until recent interest in getting the Golf R, is the Clubsport basically a super-premium package upgrade or something?
They’re gonna milk the 8.5 out. They’ll probably do an ultimate edition to like 500 numbers. Will probably have like ceramic’s rear seat delete carbon bonnet etc like you mentioned. Probably be like £65k & itl be sold out instantly. Remember like you said could be the end if the road for the golf/gti/R so go out with a bang & give the fans a loaded super track version.
Hopefully this will be available here in the US, fingers crossed!

345bhp doesn’t seem enough of a power hike. Why not go the whole hog and push out something close to the RS.
Would love VW to bring out an untouchable hot hatch…US market probably not, but exciting for Golf lovers everywhere.
Me too! I would also like it to be in all the markets possible to have a "mega Golf" 😊
Hope it doesn’t get cancelled down the line
Like they did the to the Mk8 TCR smh 🤦🏿♂️😤
@ 😂😂 exactly!!
Fingers crossed! I still miss the loss of the R400 in the MK7 generation with that 5 cylinder 🎶

Would love to see a last halo ICE performance Golf for sure 😇
I’m more than happy with my Golf R 8.5 black edition.
Coping because you ordered ur black edition now ur hearing about this.
It's a great car the Black Edition and there is no guarantee the Golf R Clubsport will go into production 😊👍
Imagine if it was a manual 😳
🤩
Bombaclaaat!! 😭🔥
Sounds sick to bad US market won’t get it 😭😭
I hope you do get it in the US 🙏🤞🙂
What is the magazine ur holding
they need to make 2door R again.
I still have my 3 door MK7 Golf R and love it. 7 1/2 years with me and still going strong 💪
@@SamAustin Very nice! those are rare, especially in Tornado Red. A beauty,
I was going to buy a black edition but after seeing this i'll wait to see whats comming

Clubsport is basically flagship version of gti or R if they release it with all bells and whistles
Let’s hope there are more colour options. Red, anyone?!
💯 more colour options for the R 🎨
I remember seeing that Issue In WHSmith In Harrogate
Damn interesting! Time to change my Mk85R already soon again :)

I really hope they do go out with something special 🙏
Would Audi want a car that potentially be a direct competitor to its flagship RS3 🤔
Audi is owned by Volkswagen.
Ooohh interesting
Brooooo, thank you, thats what i was talking about when i talked about a Golf r Clubsport, thank you thank you thank you🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It is very exciting and I am still a little shocked reading about it! I really hope the Golf R CS goes into production 🎉😊🙏
@SamAustin i Hope so too Bro 🎉🎉🎉🎉
what is that thing gonna cost, 140.000 euro? Its already ridiculously overpriced....
I don't think it would cost that much if they do release it 🤔
