golf R

[VOLKSMAN]

R range Holy grail

i feel speechless i should let the pics do the talking...

with 270hp through a newly revised 2ltr tfsi engine pumping out 18psi of charged boost through the new generation Haldex system,

"what in earth has Volkswagen created"

[The_Hawk]

I think I just soiled myself a little, looks like I have a new favourtie car

[RhysQ]

Well, it looks like Sharkie WILL be getting one, and the first in Aus as per his long standing contract (oh....well straight after all the VW techs and sales guys have smashed it to bits around the block 100 times)!

[VOLKSMAN]

im just so glad vw has launched this car to the subaru and mitsubishi hatch back market where the new R can step up and take on the competition.

[GoLfMan]

i love it

the trim on the seats however looks bloody rubbish! What were they thinking!

[ox518]

I love it........but with leather seats......

[VOLKSMAN]

guys the seats have been donored from the R36, i am sure vw would have another option on the list for recaros but like many vw options you will have to sell a kidney for it.

And in the UK, it's more expensive than the S3....

[poloplayer]

The looks seem a bit too similar to the normal golf And i think only one question matters now, will it sound as good as the old VR6 engine?

druels all wheel drive 2lt turbo..........fgdgjh (more drueling).........release dates anyone?

OMG the performance is really dissapointing. Give me a nice stretch of road and let me do a good launch and the new R will be beaten by the original
It looks nice

Really? more power and Nm and less weight. How could a R32 beat it? Performance figures are the same as the S3.

I will be taking a sleeping bag and tent and sleep next to it from the moment it arrives at the harbour to the moment I take delivery.

I will be making it very clear to them that I will sue their pants off (Austral's) that is if they dare let anybody touch it without my permission........ and I'm not kidding either.
