It's like it was made for motorsports

Under the hood

The Golf R is not only the most powerful Golf there's ever been, but also the fastest. Thanks to its 290HP turbocharged TSI engine and DSG dual clutch transmission, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds.

Exterior

Racing lines - even in the design

It's easy to see why the new Golf R always drives at least one car length ahead. From the black-underlaid LED headlights with daytime running lights to the bumpers with the R-specific diffuser, and sill extensions in high-gloss black. It attracts a lot of attention.

Wheels

Huge dynamism in every turn

The next generation of sportiness. With 18 inch alloy rims as standard, the Golf R commands respect on the street. And not only when in motion. The cast aluminium wheels also look perfect when the vehicle is stationary. And the Golf R cuts a fine figure with the Pretoria 19 inch alloy wheels that are available as an optional extra in black or grey metallic, and the new 19 inch Spielberg alloy wheel. The painted black brake calipers with R logo emphasise the overall sporty look.

^Interior
Performance you can touch.

Step into your Golf R and your pulse will soon be racing: the sportiness and dynamism of the vehicle are also reflected in the details of its interior. The blue-illuminated door sill panels in stainless steel, carbon touch decorative trims with background lighting and pedal caps in stainless steel head in one direction only, and that's forwards.

Phone calls

Making communication easier

Never miss another call, while always keeping focused on the road. High-quality sound is assured, thanks to a digital speech processor, an integrated high-end microphone in the headliner and the vehicle's speakers.

A phone call begun outside the car can also be transferred to the hands-free system via Bluetooth while the mobile phone remains in your pocket.
