VW Golf R gets upgrade

The latest Volkswagen Golf R is set to benefit from a new performance pack to provide a sportier ride.

VW’s update features body detailing, new braking and unique alloy wheels. In addition, the electric speed limiter will be removed – giving a top speed of 166 mph for the hatchback and 168 mph for the estate.

There is also a choice of a six-speed manual or a seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive as standard, the new pack also adds a new sports exhaust, which will reduce the weight by 7kg.

It is £2,300 extra for the performance pack, with the Golf R costing £32,710 for the hatch and £35,700 for the estate model.
