As geteasd: the fastest version of the new Golf 7 comes with the same horsepower as the S3.
Stir or DSG
This vermogensaantal does not come from a fine six-cylinder, because they are already past the time in the world the Golf R’s. Under the hood is a 2.0 TSI petrol engine with 221 kW/300 hp and 380 Nm of torque. Thirty horses more than its predecessor. You do have the choice for a manual zesbak, that you take him in to 5.3 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h hunts, but who is the maximum from the four-cylinder will get with the optional DSG transmission the sprint in 4,9 seconds to travel.
Sperdiff, unfortunately, electronic
Smooth. But that is also because he is equipped with a permanent all-wheel drive (4-Motion) where a Haldex coupling of the fifth generation is processed. And also not unimportant: an XDS differential lock. In addition, you can get the optional DCC order, an adaptive dempersetje with the modes ‘Eco’, ‘Normal’, ‘Individual’, and as the latest addition: ‘Race’, in which the suspension is even tighter and the throttle response as well as the acceleration times of the DSG will be adjusted. The top is always limited to 250 km/h/.
Volkswagen threw this R-spielerei 20 mm closer to the asphalt (5 mm lower than the GTI) and he has R-specific bumpers, door frames and 18-inch lichtmetalo. He comes standard with bi-xenon headlights which U-shaped led messages are processed, and dark LED tail lights. At the back we see also that Volkswagen is not frugal with the distribution of uitlaatsierstukken: four pieces. One for each cylinder, what Sjonnie in us secretly like. Inside straw the Germans with alcantara and give them this R-lad, a leather covered three-spoke steering wheel.
Price?
At the IAA in Frankfurt, we will be there for the first time knowledge. What’s it going to cost is not yet known, but he will probably be cheaper than its predecessor, which at 48.765 euro starts. VW says that he was 18% more efficient and the handbakversie in tests 7,1 l/100 km (1: 14,1) consumed. The DSG gearbox comes out to 6.9 l/100 km (1 14.5)
