Golf R

When it comes to the Golf R, you won’t be driving just any car. You’ll be driving the pinnacle of Volkswagen performance in speed and precision. The engine is R-tuned for high-performance driving. And its customizable response and handling make any drive nothing short of thrilling.

Like the best part of an action movie, let’s cut to the chase - the Golf R really knows how to handle the road. We designed it to deliver exceptional precision and control. Plus, there’s even a variety of driving modes to choose from. So now you’re ready to hit the track. Or whatever kind of road is your scene. 

The curvier the road, the better. At least we think so. The R-performance 4MOTION all-wheel-drive in the Golf R is engineered with a torque vectoring system that makes powering through curves a breeze.

That’s right. You get to be in control when driving the Golf R. The digital driving tools give you the freedom to tailor the performance to your liking. So, when you’re heading down your favorite winding road, you can easily drop it into your favorite custom setting. That kind of makes you a twist whisperer. Or something like that.

It’s pretty obvious that the Golf R has a sleek, aggressive appearance. But it still plays well with others. Even when it outclasses them. 

All your thrilling adventures are experienced inside the Golf R. That’s why we knew we had to make it comfortable. And functional. The design is rather sporty and sophisticated too.
