New R32 unleashed! (Official Pics)

These are the first official pictures of the MK5 R32 to be released by VW Press:









Power will come from the same engine as the previous R32, but using FSI technology the power has been uprated to 250PS (248bhp) meaning a dash to 62mph will be just 6.4 seconds. Although fitted with the DSG box the car will do the same sprint in 6.2 seconds!

Prices are expected to start at 23000!!

hmmm not really that exciting.. i do prefere the dreaded vxr

 

I think they should make the interior more grey!

Anyone want to buy 2x 16v Mk2s???

Loooks lovely, about time they released some official press on it.

 

nope sorry...i prefer the look of the gti to that!

 

Nope, we quashed that rumour a while back. The 3.6 in development was for the Touareg.

 

its not gay?!?!, oh wait. Yes it is.

 

Dissapointing!

Centre exhausts look

 

Press release cars always come with the lightest interiors to highlight the trim detailing. Im sure there will be options. Think the exhausts look ace, and definitely true to the spy pics some 1 year ago.

 

I thought it would look a bit more exciting. But I daresay if someone gave me one, it would grow on me....

Hopefully, the performance would make up for it....
