It seems they have been pushing the MK8 GTI TCR to the limits so a reveal is probably not too far away.
The GTI TCR has been keenly awaited in South Africa and after a virtual information session with Volkswagen South Africa, we have the information you are after.
Volkswagen has been debating the idea of a fired-up Golf R for several years and although nothing has been confirmed for the MK8 generation, rumours insist that a higher-performance R version is still on the agenda.
If they are making a full-fat R version, it makes complete sense to offer the less potent less expensive GTI variant too.
We can tell it is the R variant immediately thanks to the quad tailpipes, enlarged lower air intake and the blue-painted calipers.
This package is set to be launched in September and can be combined with some performance upgrades (not yet announced) if you wish.
For now we only know it will be rear-engined and that it will look wicked.
As an option, Mountune also offers an upgraded clutch for manual models or revised software for the dual-clutch gearbox.
The company employs 671,000 people and has 124 factories around the world.
