    2015 RS3

    Personally I wouldn't spend that amount of money on a hot hatch, but at least the 2015 RS3 with its 367 PS 2.5T is quite interesting: http://www.audi.de/de/brand/de/neuwagen/a3/rs-3-sportback.html Looking forward to see some RS3 parts fitting the Mk.VII GTI . . . :biggrin:

    Focus RS will be the new hot hatch?

    Agree - I'd even bet it'll get FWD. But why manual only? Ford have used the Getrag 6DCT450: http://www.getrag.com/de/products/powershift/powershift.html It takes up to 450 Nm of torque which is sufficient for the RS.

    The graceful Jaguar Mk.VIII in Vertigo, the Lotus Esprit in the 1970's James Bond, both Ferrari Dino and Aston Martin DBS in The Persuaders - just to name a few.

    CO2 emission restrictions will prevent both heavy 4WD and the old 2.5 5-cyl.

    NEW OE intake for TSI/EA888

    Many aftermarket intakes are known to plunder power and cause several other issues. Somtimes better to go with OE parts. There's a "hot climate" intake/filter enclosure, that can be easily adapted to the TSI/EA888 engine: http://www.golfvigti.com/topic.php?t=17867&page=1 Luftführung...
