Is this what's left of the R400 that VW were pushing a couple of years ago & then dropped?

Maybe they are thinking of using the ally engine in it........
The article does seem to suggest a 5 pot sound.

Look at the wavey front discs and bigger calipers too.

Yes I think this is the reincarnation of the 400

The 7.5 FL will be good for another 2 years at least so it could be imminent....

It'll be an end of model special edition like a black edition type thing before the Mk8 comes out! But what an engine to use for that ! Already seen the 5 pot being used in the Tiguan I believe so no surprise VW will try to wang it into other cars now. Can't blame them - what an engine it is!

I think I would seriously consider this if it does get put in... 

[Oldmanracing]

Me too.......
interesting.....to say the least...

[Oldmanracing]

Could be a way of VAG mopping up the disgruntled RS owners now they are pricing them out of reach...

[Oldmanracing]

And..... (sorry getting forgetful at my age!)
If the wavy discs are on it I would like to think VW would be better at sorting them if any probs with squeeking/warping...or maybe they have a job lot that were over ordered and emptying the parts bin ..... it does show they have faith in them if they Are using the same setup...
Hmmmm, still interesting.......
