Just watched a review video this morning. I guess it has onboard telemetry like many sport oriented cars these.
VW claims a 4.7s 0-60.
When the reviewer, used launch control to test the 0-60 and 1/4. The car did 0-60 in 4.0 secs and ran a 12.44 @ 110 1/4..........according to the car.
That's kind of bonkers.
Its a very nice car. I wonder if we will get it with a manual and more than those 3 colors.
I approve of a Type R/Veloster N/Golf R hp battle. Maybe we will have 11 second hot hatches (FWD even!) in 2025 lol.

Just like getting a Club Sport in the US, I wouldn't bet someone else's money on it.
Edit: Possibly on the colors, depends on what the beancounters decide. -Turns out I recalled wrong about the trans offerings in the Golf R.- I'd almost be more excited to see an R32 offering but I know me and I wouldn't like it for the mondernity of it.
In reply to Error404 :
MK7 R, or the last one, came both DSG and manual.
I really dig it. But I don't know if I $43k or whatever, dig it.
The outside styling is a bit sedated for me. But the performance is fantastic.
Meh. I like my '19 R much more. I'm not a fan of a completely digital interior, plus the power changes made aren't enough to make me excited vs my current R.

That's a CUV bruh and a FUGLY automobile at that.
If Merc brought over teh A45 AMG Hatchback that would be hella rad.
In reply to DirtyBird222 :
The Golf R is a CUV in my eyes 
It's a tall box.
My better half has an Audi S3 which is the same basic vehicle under sleeker bodywork. It's an absolute blast to drive and a weapon on twisty roads! 0-60 specs are all over the board the last few years in magazine articles. Anywhere from 4-seconds flat to 4.6. It's fast, I don't know how fast as we've never used the launch control, but way faster than she needs!
