The new generation Volkswagen Golf R, which continues its tests on the Nurburgring track in Germany, has appeared with spy shots taken for a while. Although we could capture some details about the design of the new Golf R in these images, we have not been able to see the track performance, which is the part of the vehicle that really interests us. Fortunately, the expected moment has finally arrived, and a video shared by Auto Addiction revealed the road performance of the new Golf R. The first thing that attracted attention when we watched the video was that the Golf R was a very quiet car compared to previous generations. At this point, even the tire or environmental sounds make more noise than the vehicle’s exhaust, which is disappointing for some Golf fans. The 2021 Volkswagen Golf R seems to come with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine:
Allegedly, the new Golf R, which will share the same power unit with the GTI, S3 Sportback and GTI TCR, will come with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine capable of producing 329 horsepower (245 kW) of power. The transmission system of the Golf R, which is also stated that it will not come with a manual transmission in the new generation, will be 4Motion four-wheel drive system and 7-speed DSG. 2021 Golf R, which is displayed with a completely new bumper in the images recorded on the Nurburgring track, is separated from all the rest of the series with this design. In terms of design, the spoiler positioned on the tailgate of the vehicle is also larger than normal. Volkswagen recently announced that the new Golf R model will be introduced later this year, but it has avoided giving a clear date. In this case, given the current coronavirus epidemic and production has come to a halt, we can say that the exact release date of the vehicle is likely to extend to 2021.
