It's not a GTI, it's a VW R32.
A couple of things that differ from the GTI is that the R32 has 240 hp and the all wheel drive system from the Audi TT Roadster (in the audi, it's called "quattro", in the vw it is "4motion"). It was a limited production of 5000 units made in 2004, but I'm not sure what the starting price was at time of production. Earlier this year (when I got mine), the blue book on it was still $35k. The 18inch wheels shown here are a dead giveaway it's an R32, those are stock. It's too bad there's no sound file for people to hear the dual exhaust.
It's not quite as fast as I would like, and handling could be better due to the sheer weight of the car. Still... it's a nice, nice ride. :)
Oh wait.. this is a photography site. Yeah, DQ or not, this pic rocks.
Nice work on the high dynamic range. |
