Frankfurt 09: VW Golf R



The Mk VI Golf R was unveiled by Volkswagen at Frankfurt 09. This is the replacement for the Mk V Golf R32. Volkswagen is demonstrating – in the world premiere of the new 199 kW / 270 PS Golf R  – that fuel consumption values can improve even in the high-end sports car area. While in the now retired Golf R32 (184 kW / 250 PS), 10.7 litres of fuel was required for every 100 kilometres, on the new Golf R – thanks to a boosted high-tech TSI – the figure is just 8.5 litres, which is 2.2 litres or 21 percent less. The all-wheel drive Golf R (350 Newton-meter torque between 2,500 and 5,000 rpm) sprints to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds (Golf R DSG: 5.5 seconds) and reaches an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h. The new Golf R also comes with the latest trend of LED taillights and LED daytime running lights. The Golf R can be ordered in Germany starting at the end of this year.

  1. These cars are considered as an innovation. They look different as compared to the ones made 60 years ago. They also have a far developed engine to regulate fuel consumption. These changes made always have a good purpose.
