R comes in more colours since it was assembled by Volvo and not TWR

ECU Mapping is slightly different

Interior in R is Alcantara facing with Leather trim as opposed to the exact opposite of leather facings with Alcantara trim in T5-R

R has 17" Volans (7 Spoke), T5-R has 17" Titan (5 Spoke)

R has different rear spoiler - larger with grey trailing lip

R has revised suspension settings - softer anti-roll bars but firmer dampers.
R also has a viscous diff

Manual R has newer intercooler and larger turbo (hence additional 10 hp over auto)
