The new range-topping Volkswagen Golf R 20 has key improvements for the chassis and powertrain, and it's priced from £47,095 -
20 Years at £47,095 in the UK, over £7000 more than a base Golf R. Of course, for the extra outlay the R 20 Years includes a bunch of usually optional extras including the larger 19-inch wheel option and the usuall optional Performance Pack, not forgetting its subtle power bump and bespoke trim.
The Golf R 20 Years has already set a lap time around the fearsome Nürburgring Nordschleife, recording the fastest time yet in a Golf R, but lap times aren’t the element we’re curious about in this new special. That’s because, and in particular the Golf R. We’ve felt it has fallen some way short of being a properly engaging top-of-the-line hot hatchback.
So it came as very good news back in May that Volkswagen had something up its sleeve, resulting in this Golf R 20 Years, which features a range of subtle updates that we’re hoping will make the Mk8 Golf realise its full potential. These start under the bonnet, where the same turbocharged 2-litre four-cylinder engine has been given an extra boost with a higher peak power figure of 328bhp – a 12bhp increase over the current model.
On said rubber, Volkswagen has lapped its new Golf R 20 Years around the Nürburgring Nordschleife setting a 7:47.31 time that makes it quicker than any previous Golf R, and only a whisker behind the previous front-wheel drive lap record-breakingVisually, the Golf R Performance Pack’s taller rear wing is the only physical change aside from those fetching blue wheels, although there is some bespoke R 20 badging on the rear bumper and door pillar garnish.
