Hakim Halimi, the Head of Product Marketing for Volkswagen R, stated, “The Golf R 333 is the first R model for which we have set specific specifications. This ensures that all consumer desires for power are fulfilled, thanks to the additional supporting equipment.” This statement was taken from an official Volkswagen announcement.
In terms of performance, the Golf R is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine capable of generating 329 horsepower and 420 Nm of peak torque, which is distributed to all four wheels. This impressive car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 270 km/h.
One noteworthy feature included in this car is the R-Performance Torque with Vehicle Dynamics Manager. It not only distributes power between the front and rear axles but also between the individual wheels, providing drivers with an exceptional sensation when cornering.
Production of all Volkswagen Golf R models will commence in September this year, with the first units expected to be delivered to customers in October. All buyers will have the opportunity to collect their ordered vehicles in Wolfsburg, Germany.
