After unexpectedly premiering at the Geneva Motor
Show in March, the Volkswagen Golf R with Performance
options has just been reveals.
Available exclusively in Europe, the Performance
package option for the Golf R includes a set of high-performance brakes, an
Akrapovic titanium exhaust system and a bespoke rear spoiler. It
receives air curtains on the front bumper and heavily-tinted headlights that
make the hot hatch look significantly meaner than base-spec models.
The Performance upgrades also see the
top limiter deactivated, allowing the car to hit 267 km/h. Power from
the 2.0-liter TSI engine continues to sit at 306 hp in Europe, a figure
certainly more impressive than the 292 hp of the U.S. spec 2018 Golf R.
