Australians will soon be able to get their hands on the most potent Volkswagen Golf ever.
The company’s sparkling Golf R 20 Years will be available to order in July, with 50 units coming to Australia at a recommended retail price (RRP) of $77,490.
Celebrating 20 years since the Golf R32 became the quickest VW ever produced, the company says the special edition comes with an Akrapovic titanium exhaust, power and torque upgrades, enhanced turbocharger performance, a sharper-shifting transmission, real carbon décor inserts, exclusive exterior styling – plus all Golf R options including premium paint, panoramic sunroof, and Harman/Kardon premium audio.
Every Golf R 20 Years for Australia includes a panoramic sunroof and Harman/Kardon premium audio system.
The 2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with petrol particulate filter (PPF) now produces 245kW (+10kW) and 420Nm (+20Nm) for 0-100km/h in 4.6 seconds, the fastest time of any Golf ever sold in Australia.
Styling elements include 19-inch Estoril alloy wheels painted in black with Lapiz Blue exterior paint, or black and blue with the single other exterior colour alternative – Pure White.
Door mirrors are painted in deep black (with Lapiz Blue) or Lapiz Blue (with Pure White). A ‘20 Years’ badge adorns each B-pillar and forms a welcome projection light from mirrors.
Inside the Golf R 20 Years exclusively features real carbon décor inserts across the dashboard and doors.
The Volkswagen Golf R 20 Years will be available to order exclusively online at volkswagen.com.au from July 13.
A total of 32 Lapiz Blue Premium Metallic and 18 Pure White examples will be offered.
