Our most powerful engine yet
The 2.0-litre TSI turbocharged engine in the Golf R packs the ultimate power punch. A stirring 235kW of power and 400Nm of torque can propel the Golf R from 0–100km/h in just 4.8 seconds.
Ultimate drive power distribution
Handle every road like a racetrack with all-wheel-drive 4MOTION with R-Performance Torque Vectoring. The feature distributes the engine’s output not just between the front and rear axles, but also variably between the two rear wheels for outstanding grip and stability.
Are you ready for exclusive
driving profiles?
Take control of the Golf R’s ride and handling characteristics when you select from among six available driving profiles. Set your pulse racing when you press the ‘R’ logo on the steering wheel to activate the ‘Race’ driving profile setting. Send it into overdrive when you choose one of two exclusive R Performance driving profiles – ‘Drift’ for exhilarating drifting capability away from public roads and ‘Special’, which has been tuned for the exacting conditions of the Nürburgring-Nordschleife.
Precision handling, maximum agility
How do you describe the Golf R’s assured all-wheel drive system, which is networked via a Vehicle Dynamics Manager (VDM)? The integrated system performs minor braking interventions and alters damper compression on selected wheels to provide optimal traction and precise driving control.
