2025 Golf R is recently lapping around in the Nordschleife. Thought it kinda looks the same as the pre-facelift that is already in-game, but I noticed that the difference is the new Interior design, but they didn’t show it in the 8.5 Golf R.
And it’s DSG only, as the Manual option is eliminated, sadly.
Last thing to tell is, it should have proper Taillights. The EU Golf GTI & R got these Expensive-looking elegant Taillights that fits them alot compared to the ones in the USA where it was based on the standard Golf. We are asking for a proper EU Golf so we can all rest easy.
Majority of RWD sports coupes are the ones in need of Manual gearboxes. But in some cases, other RWD coupes such as Grand Tourers, became Automatics. So that’s obviously fine for them.
But for Golf, I only trust Mk1-5 for Manuals, then Mk6-8 for DSG.
For the new BMWs M3 and M4, they’re in Competition models in-game as they are Automatic. They have more HP than the standard manual ones.
I guess they just want to lose customers and not add the manual later on since Euro 7 is less strict they said the killed it because of Euro 7 and it was developed when Euro 7 was stricter so Im not sure if they will change their mind and add the manual back in since like I said Euro 7 is not as strict as before they could do anything they have in their inventory
I doubt this will be added at all. The Mark 8.5 is mostly an interior refresh with little to no changes to the exterior or performance. It’d be a waste of time and resources unless you REALLY want that new interior.
LOL is this why you want a base Golf? This is a racing game and they don’t usually add base models of certain cars too often because they have high-performance specs.
golf 8.5r will only have dsg change. It is presented throughout this year. and it will most likely have more power and be better than what the current 20th anniversary R is already
Practical Luggage Space? Family of 4 but feeling fast and sporty? The Volkswagen Estate (2024) has you covered. A sporty wagon that can go head to head with the RS6 Avant, this VW is a subtle yet stylish looking family car that is commonly popular in british roads. A perfect cruise car around the map.
PS - Please don’t include this in Hybrid / Electric version.
I must say they probably went for a 2019 US Spec Golf R because that model year it got tons of new colours and in Europe the Manual was killed in December 2018 although it would be nice if we get more Golf Rs of that generation such as a facelifted 2 door Golf R and a pre facelift R 4 door (wouldnt mind the euro spec as that model year still came with a manual)and a Golf R Wagon(dsg only but I guess if they add it they can make both purists (hatchback)and people who prefer dsgs happy(wagon) as for the MK8 we need the Wagon too so we could also compare manual vs dsg I guess
Because we already had the pre facelifted Mk7 so they added the Sound to it also did you know that 40 percent of Golf R buyers in America went for the manual last year
