Performance

Fast as fast can be

The Mk8 Golf R is the most powerful new Golf ever sold in the U.S. Better hold on tight. Oh, it also has customizable 4MOTION® all-wheel-drive, so, you can adjust it to your driving needs (and wants). This high-performance hatch gives new meaning to the word “joyride”. 

Design

They say it’s rude to stare. We think it’s rude not to.

Let’s take a moment to admire the design of the Golf R. Ok, maybe more than a moment. The unique front bumper, paired with side skirts and a rear diffuser, really screams sporty sophistication. Don’t you think? It also maximizes aerodynamics. And we can’t ignore the interior, which carries on the athletic look, and is full of high-quality materials. Quite fitting for this high-performance hatch.
