The new MkVII GTI with performance pack is going to kick ass as well but won't have the power:weight ratio that most of us are used to. When my wife's X1 lease is up I'm pretty sure she'll get a PPack GTI with DSG. It's supposed to be a revelation in performance FWD driving dynamics.
MK7 R will have 3 options of traction control: ESC (standard), ESC Sport (one touch button), and ESC Off (holding the button). So yes you will be able to turn traction off.

Still waiting on word about the haldex ratio. 60/40 RWD bias does sound pretty fun for it though.
