How about a mk7 R with 420 factory horsepower? Golf R420 announced

Sounds like they got even more out of this engine than they last showed at Geneva.

I am really digging the yellow looking color. Like alot! Who knew yellow could look so good. I know its only the trims, but still.

Nice. Love to see that package in something other than the panel van Golf - like say the Scirocco!

0-60 3.9 seconds- what a slouch

Considering the mk7 R does 3.7 when tuned, I should hope they're being conservative with that time.

Won't happen, at least not with the current gen Scirocco. Scirocco is on the A5 platform (same as mk5/mk6 Golf) so they won't develop it anymore as VW is phasing it out. The mk7 Golf is on the latest MQB platform and is the current and future product.
