With its technology and the Golf R engine it surpasses all previous versions, as evidenced by the 4.7 seconds it took to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h and the top speed of 270 km / h with the optional R-Performance package.
More than individual performance figures, the character of the new Golf R is highlighted by the combination of 420 Nm of maximum torque, the advanced chassis and the most advanced all-wheel drive in its class, which together create a new benchmark in terms of dynamics, agility and driving pleasure.
In particular, the 4Motion system with R-Performance Torque Vectoring distributes the torque delivery to the four wheels not only by varying the percentage between the axles, but also between the two rear wheels.
This allows you to significantly increase agility, especially when changing direction.
For the first time ever, all-wheel drive is connected via Vehicle Dynamics Manager (VDM) to other systems such as Electronic Differential Lock (XDS) and DCC Adaptive Chassis Control.
Thanks to the tight integration, the new Golf R offers optimal traction and neutral behavior, with the highest level of precision.
In Italy, the new Golf R is offered with a complete standard equipment that reflects its role as flagship and includes.
