VW Golf R revealed


Golf R is out, wonder if it will be made available in Malaysia. Substantial power increase and spec compared to the standard mk6 GTI

- 265bhp and 350Nm (strengthened internals, so even a simple S1 remap would up power to 300+bhp)
- AWD
- Scirocco R bumper, and DRL's
- LED tailights
- Centre twin exhausts

This makes me more commited not to spend anymore money on my mk5, instead of 8k on suspension, 8k on BBK etc, that will all go into the D/P for a new mk6. Hope VW Malaysia brings it in, as a 2.0l car, it wont attract the kinda taxes that the R32 had, I estimate VW to price it at 240k-250k if they do bring it in.




Beautiful interior, way better then the Scirocco, check out the aluminium pedals, which the curretn mk6 GTI doesnt have, as well as the 2 tone sport seats...yummy
