VW underquoted the old Mk 7 too. I went from a 6 to a 7 GTI, and there was no way in hell it was only 10 hp better. The bigger torque difference I totally felt, but there was a lot more top end than they were letting on. 35K miles and a couple of intake related mods later, she still spools up quickly and pulls strong!

This man knows what he talking about and this is just cofirmation that VW doing some really god job with these new engines, lets just compare a45s engine and this one in Golf R, a45s engine 1.5k rpm down the redline making same or less power than Golf's engine, and in last 1.5k rpm it produce that 100hp extra. This just tells about how good actualy is this new engine in Golf, it can max all his power acros the all range of rpm, that is pretty amazing enginering and plus that smart move with gearing there are result why is so fast! Amazing enginering VW!!!

[@silimarina.]

Well, it's down to the way ECU is programmed, not the engine. The engine makes what the ECU tells it to make. A45s is still a very fast hot hatch. And Mercedes will probably take notice of the new Golf R and will update A45s to be faster.

[@thomasschmitz3765]

Fingers crossed to get your new toy over 300 kph (or maybe even over 200 mph) ... Once you got all that chip tuning done, you need to come over to Germany and see what it's like on a speed limitless piece of Autobahn.

[@AB-nv7bz]

Its making max power for 1000rpm! Did the last one do that? I know in the gtI's they fell off a cliff after 5500 ish. Thats a huge part. You're making max power for half of each gear. Other cars may more more peak power, but energy delivered won't be as much. After seeing a bunch of dyno runs in the UK on youtube, is it normal for you to show estimated crank hp vs showing what it makes at the wheels? In the US no one runs dynos at estimated crank, its all wheel hp. It doesn't really matter as dyno's are more to show gains. Good to see these cars are making more than promised. I'm curious if they will make rated on crappy CA gas. German companies tend to present numbers that are worst case.

[@DiabloRMCF7]

Briliant idea... to redline a new engine after only 150miles on the dash

[@filippopippo6583]

I was thinking the same! If this car will ever have some problem, VW will be reeeally happy to see how the owner is been careful in the first miles 😅 Imagine the conversation: - Hey VW i'm Archie, i think my Golf R has some problems.. - Oh really? CHAOS! Byee 👋 😂
