Volkswagen Golf R - 3 or 5-door C-class hatchback with all-wheel drive. This is the sports edition of the seventh generation of the Volkswagen Golf. The premiere of the model took place at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2016. The flagship Golf model has external changes that are common for the entire production line. Thus, the designers revised the bumper, as well as the optics which are now diode.

This modification is distinguished by brand nameplates on the radiator grille and trunk lid, enlarged rims (18 or 19 inches), black brake calipers with a proprietary logo, and also four pipes of the exhaust system, located in pairs. The interior of the Golf R can be recognized by decorative inserts made of metal, decorative stitching covered with high-quality materials, as well as sports seats. Located in the center console, the 9.2-inch touchscreen display is capable of showing information such as boost pressure or the values ​​of the overload experienced. In addition, when driving a race track, the lap time is recorded, and the current values ​​of the longitudinal and transverse accelerations are recorded. The system of additional equipment of the updated vehicle now includes the recognition of gestures and Wi-Fi. In the basic version, the car is equipped with the 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, as well as a customized independent suspension.

The Golf R make it from 0 to 60 in 4.6 seconds thanks to a 2-liter turbo engine venting 310 of horsepower and developing 400 Nm of torque. It works in tandem with a proprietary robotic gearbox 7-DSG or 6-speed mechanics. It turns out, this is an assault on super hatchbacks like Audi S3 and Mercedes-Benz A 45. And Golf also knows how to be all-wheel drive. An updated version of the 4Motion system - Haldex coupled with electronically controlled XDS Plus - puts the rear axle at work. We have already met the XDS system at GTI, but Plus adds the rear axle to the equation. And although it's 94 kg heavier than the GTI with the Performance Pack, it's lighter than the previous R. With a pair of fat guys on board, the weight difference does not matter at all, plus the power has become much higher.

Golf R - the true embodiment of sportiness, and not only judjing by the external attributes. The content of this car completely corresponds to the form - whether it's an energetic interior or a herd of horses under the hood.
