New VW Golf R is here!

New VW Golf R is here!

Packing even more punch than the GTI, the flagship Golf R is sure to thrill. Following up on the success of the seventh-generation Golf, this sports car is powered by a newly designed 280bhp TSi engine, which is 24bhp stronger but more than 15 percent more fuel efficient than that in the previous model.  Like all three previous Golf R models, the new model also transfers its turbocharged engine power to the road via a permanent all-wheel drive system; in this case, it is the latest version of the 4MOTION system with a fifth-generation Haldex coupling.

Delivering pure dynamic performance are a newly configured sport suspension system (body height lowered by 20mm), the new progressive steering system and 'ESC Sport' which can now be fully deactivated for driving on a race track. Also standard is the further developed DCC dynamic chassis control system with the driving profile selector that features a new Race mode.

The Golf R completes the 0-100kmh sprint in just 5.0 seconds and reaches an electronically limited top speed of 250kmh. Despite the car's exceptionally agile driving performance and extra power, fuel consumption has been reduced from 8.4 to 7.1L/100km. CO2 emissions were also improved from 195 to 164g/km.

Price: $236,300 w / COE (accurate as at 24th March 2014)
