The new Golf R, based on the eighth generation model, is already the fifth edition of the top version of the most popular Volkswagen in history. The 320-horsepower Golf R takes only 4.7 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h. As standard, the top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h.

The new Golf R is equipped as standard with an all-wheel drive system developed specifically for this model, known as 4MOTION with R-Performance Torque Vectoring, with variable torque distribution between the wheels of the rear axle. This greatly enhances the Golf R's agility. For the first time, through the Vehicle Dynamics Manager (VDM) system, all-wheel drive is also networked with other systems such as electronic differential lock (XDS) and damping control damping characteristics (DCC). The new Golf R, thanks to the integration of various systems, offers excellent traction, neutral driving behavior as well as excellent steering precision and high agility. Thanks to this, driving pleasure is at the highest level.

The offer of the new Golf R will be announced soon.
