Really liking this. Probably won't see many around Ireland.

Could see myself in one of this in a few years...

Is it not just a same model with 10bhp and a tricky diff?

A simple stage one with give huge bhp more than that.

Also.
Are they going to be sold in Ireland or is it a UK specific model?

It's the "performance pack" from the GTI applied to the RS.

Basically, although the standard vrs already has the GTI PP breaks. Probably because it weighs a bit more.

I can see the attraction of this in a GTI, but can't at all in one of these.

Seat will have a player on the field soon as well,

Its a pretty good time for those seeking practical performance.











The side profile reminds me of some recent Alfa's, and apparently the designer also did the Laguna Coupé
