Feel the power of the Golf R
They say a lot of things about the Golf R. That it's potent at the throttle, with plenty of traction, grip and torque. That it's class-leading in space, interior, and all-round driver appeal. And that it's the ultimate high-performance machine both on the streets and on the track. But those are all things better experienced than explained. Drive it for yourself.
