Here’s a look at new pics of the Volkswagen Golf R from its official presentation in the snow of Austria, showing off its all-wheel drive 4Motion system.
Improvements on this new model include changes to the torque transmission for smooth distribution across the four wheels, but you may be more interested in the incredible performance stats.
The Volkswagen Golf R has 270 hp and 350 Nm of torque at 2,500 to 5,000 rpm.
Those figures come from the two-litre, four-cylinder TSI engine with turbocompressor and direct injection.
DSG six-speed transmission is used, helping keep fuel consumption and emissions to 8.
4 l/100 km and 195 g/km respectively.
Top speed is 250 km/hr and the Golf R accelerates to 100 km/hr in 5.
5 seconds.
Other features include a lowered body with DCC adjustment, Normal, Sport and Comfort suspension modes and disc brakes measuring 345 mm at the front and 310 mm at the rear.
There are also 18-inch wheels, LED day driving lights, sat nav and a five-door oprtion.
Look to shell out 39,000 euros for the entry level Golf R, while 41,000 euros will get you the DSG gearbox.
