All these numbers add up to R.

Combine a 256-hp, 2.0L turbocharged engine, 4MOTION all-wheel drive,
and a 6-speed manual transmission. Then step on the gas and launch from
0 to 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds. That, friends and car enthusiasts, is the
rarely-seen-in-this-country Golf R.

Driving the Golf R is more than just a drag race when you climb behind the race-inspired wheel.*
Take it fast on the straightaway and then downshift into a turn to see how the enhanced sport
suspension and 4MOTION all-wheel drive let you handle curves like it’s glued to the road. There’s
nothing like a little German engineering to get your adrenaline flowing.

With limited production, the Golf R is sure to be a treat, if you can get your hands on one. For the
first time, the Golf R is going to be available in 2- and 4-door models, so whether you’re slugging
your friends around or opening it up solo on the track, you’ll want to be one of the select few
driving this hyper-tuned beast.

*Always obey local speed and traffic laws.
