It's been 20 years since the Volkswagen Golf R32 hit the streets, and to celebrate VW is building about 1,800 Volkswagen Golf R 20th Anniversary Edition models.
commemorating 20 years of the all-wheel-drive hot hatchback. The aptly named 2023 VW Golf R 20th Anniversary Edition goes on sale in the U.S. this fall, with a planned production run of about 1,800 units.
Marking the anniversary of the 2002 European launch of the Golf R's predecessor, the R32, the 20th Anniversary Edition deletes the sunroof that's standard on other Golf R models. This removes some weight from the car's highest point, to lower the center of gravity.
The 20th Anniversary Edition is available in Lapiz Blue Metallic, Deep Black Pearl, and Pure White. For a bit of contrast, the mirror caps are finished in Lapiz Blue on Deep Black Pearl and Pure White cars, and gloss black on Lapiz Blue cars. The interior adds carbon-fiber trim pieces for the dashboard and front door panels—the first time this has been done in a production VW. The steering wheel and key fob get"R" logos as well.The special edition is mechanically unchanged, keeping the EA888 2.0-liter turbo-4 from the standard Mk8 Golf R, with output unchanged at 315 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. Europe is gettingwith slightly more power, but only the U.S.
Prices start at $46,035 with the manual gearbox and $46,835 with the dual-clutch transmission , an increase of $650 over the standard Golf R with either transmission.
