It all began with the R32—two decades later we R here.
and, later, here in America, gave way to a lineage of hardcore Golfs, though they've long since dropped the"32" from their names, leaving them as Rs only.
Those original R32s used a 3.2-liter VR6 engine , so naturally, when the follow-up arrived with a 2.0-liter turbo I-4, the"32" part of the name went away. The R has kept the same all-wheel-drive, turbocharged-four-cylinder layout since, and now VW is celebrating 20 years of"R" with a limited-edition 2023 Volkswagen Golf R 20th Anniversary Edition limited to under 2,000 examples and just three color options for the North American market.
, which not only sported a carbon fiber monocoque, but also featured carbon fiber in its interior? VW clarified tothat the Golf R therefore is"the first mass-produced VW with carbon fiber trim, and first ever for North America.", six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission choices, front 14.1-inch cross drilled rotors, and 235/35R19 summer tires. Every R gets all-wheel drive with torque vectoring and DCC electronically adaptive dampers.
. Lapiz Blue will come with gloss black mirror caps, while Deep Black Pearl and Pure White will come with Lapiz Blue mirror caps. Regardless of paint color, the 19x8-inch Estoril wheels are finished in Gloss black. There are also special blue finished R logos on the bumpers and front fenders while a gloss black 20th Anniversary badge on each B-pillar.
