Golf R
The highly anticipated Golf R outperforms all previous Golf R models by boasting a horsepower of 320 HP and a torque of 400 newton meters.
Volkswagen’s engineers have developed a new 4MOTION all-wheel drive system with torque vectoring on the rear axle to ensure the power is distributed in the most effective way. This forms the basis for the improved vehicle handling of the Golf R, which sets the standard in its vehicle class.
It delivers sheer power with sports-tuned suspension and the 4MOTION all-wheel drive ensures the driver both control and comfort. The all-new Golf R releases power exactly when and where you need it and can accelerate to 100km/h in a mere 4.8 seconds. The all-new Golf R is an inimitable model fully loaded with performance features and is highly capable. It provides plenty of driving enjoyment, as well as a good amount of room for people and cargo. It can stand face-to-face with any of its competition. The Golf R is Volkswagen’s top performance model and the elite member of the R-Brand. This latest edition unites speed, precision and power achieving a driving experience like never before.
Golf GTI: Sporty, dynamic, intuitive
The Golf GTI always defined the term “hot hatch” embodying a classic formula: refinement, style, power and playful performance. The new and eighth generation Golf GTI has returned with new technology and design cues that continue the tradition of affordable performance it has built since its debut. It is sportier, more dynamic, more intuitive and more responsive than ever before.
