Golf R

HEART OF THE BEAST.At the core of this powerhouse beats a next generation turbo-charged

4-cylinder 2.0 TSI engine, ready to unleash 206kW of explicit fury. Delivering an

earth-shattering maximum torque of 350Nm between 1800/5500rpm and

a top speed of 250km/h, the New Golf R epitomises untamed exhilaration.

BlueMotion Technologies such as Stop-Start and Energy Recuperation contribute

to impressive fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions of 165/159 g/km. Add

to that an explosive 0/100km/h in 5.0 heart-stopping seconds (5.2 seconds in

manual), and the Golf R not only tears up the road but dominates it.

GOLF R.IT’S R-RATED.

The ultimate expression of performance has arrived – with an explosive power

output of 206kW to be precise. Powered by the next generation 2.0-litre TSI

engine, the Golf R roars from 0–100 km/h in an exhilarating 5.0 seconds (5.2

seconds in manual). Add to this class-leading safety, the latest 4Motion®

all-wheel drive technology and advanced driver assistance systems, and the

legend is not only back, but reborn and ready to assault your senses – in the

best possible way.

Sheer visual drama and heart-pounding presence that commands respect.

Boasting a unique R front grille, a chrome strip that runs through the grille

and headlights, additional air intakes and Bi-Xenon headlights with LED

daytime running lights, the Golf R exudes as much power in appearance

as it does when you press down the accelerator. Accentuated by its two

duel chrome exhaust pipes and sinister-looking darkened LED tail lights, a

pronounced rear spoiler concludes in an unmistakably Golf R rear, while sleek

and evocative 19" Cadiz alloy wheels with black brake calipers complete its

assertive stance.

NOT FOR SENSITIVE VIEWERS.

With hardcore performance and thrilling good looks, you need the

confidence and peace-of-mind that you will always be in control on the

road. Featuring a host of intuitive driver assist systems, including Fatigue

Assist, Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) with Brake Assist and EDL, the

Golf R gives you the freedom to enjoy the pinnacle of driving performance,

without compromising on safety. The Multi-collision Brake System with

the new generation Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force

Distribution (EBD) and Anti-Spin Regulator (ASR) keep you on track no

matter how tight the bends you manoeuvre.

EXPLICIT DETAIL.

With a raw 206kW ready to be unleashed,

innovative features including 5th generation

4Motion® technology and Haldex coupling

eliminates nearly all traction loss, ensuring

that you remain in the driver seat. Optional

Adaptive Chassis Control modifies the

suspension according to individual road

and driving conditions, while the electronic

handbrake with Hill-hold Assist keeps

you firmly grounded. Add to that a 6.5"

touchscreen infotainment system, optional

rear-view camera, panoramic sunroof and

KESSY keyless entry, and your drive just

became as comfortable as it is exhilarating.

DEMAND RESPECT.

TAME THE BEAST.Anticipate the driving pleasure of the Golf R with an interior that is

as appealing in appearance as it is in comfort. Blue ambient cabin

lighting with illuminating door sill trim hint at its individualistic

spirit, while the flat-bottomed sports steering wheel, distinct

instrument cluster and unique logo placements make it

unmistakably Golf  R. A 6.5" touchscreen radio, grey stitching,

Carbon Style décor trims and optional Carbon Nappa leather trim

assertively conclude an expressive interior.

Das Auto. The Car. Only when a car defines an era. Only when a car becomes a way of life.

Only when a car gives its name to an entire generation. Only when a

car possesses both size and stature. Only when a car provides a home

for the whole family. Only when a car invites everyone to share its

innovations. Only when a car creates technologies that break new

ground. Only when a car delivers a miracle of performance. Only when

today’s car is already anticipating tomorrow. Only then can it be called

The Car (Das Auto).
