Volkswagen Golf R



Volkswagen had been one of the few brands in the United States that hasn't decided to Buick-ize its styling and sponge down its ride. And, indeed, the Golf R promises to be anything but vanilla. With the Golf R's AWD, 280 hp and a real six-speed gearbox, Volkswagen is at last bringing a genuine WRX fighter to the U.S. Volkswagen is even committing two body styles to the contest, pitting this car against the Mini Paceman (only a three-door). Fuel economy is said to be 20 percent better than the old R32, at a price that should be near $32,000. It will have new brake rotors, plus more aggressive stability-control settings with "track setting" or the equivalent. Expect both two- and four-door body styles, both of which will get R-body-style cosmetics and sport exhaust.
It covers only the new Volkswagen Golf R in Frankfurt. Do not be fooled by its modest appearance, this is monstrous hot hatch quickly.
And "the fastest Golf ever actually powered by the same 2.0 liter turbo 266bhp Audi S3 is found. Lead to four wheel drive Golf to 62 mph in 5.5 seconds and if specific DSG gearbox, or 0.2 seconds slower than the box if you want to "manual.




It is harder and faster than the front wheels Scirocco R and Golf R32 is a really big old heavy 3.2-liter V6. Emissions and economy is a huge improvement on the old R32, down from 26.4mpg to 33.2mpg, with emissions of CO2 199g/km to 225g/km down.
Although visually, uh, improvements Golf GTI to stay - a new front bumper, rear LED lights and resolving key to be clear - the suspension is lowered by 25 millimeters, while the ESP was repaired with two different settings of additional songs.
Because the four-wheel drive hardware, Golf R weighs around £ 80 heavier than the GTI, although 35 kg lighter than the R32.
Do not expect to see much in the way: Volkswagen, says it expects to sell only 500 or so golf RS year, with prices starting at around £ 28,500.
Focus RS for a few thousand more expensive, but slightly stronger than similar fast: who are you?
