Volkswagen is giving the Mk7.5
Golf R a colorful send-off in Australia with a ‘Final Edition’ version. Limited
to 450 units, the VW Golf R Final Edition will feature several styling and
equipment upgrades when it reaches Australian dealerships in May 2020. 150 of
those models will be even more exclusive as they’ll get access to three Custom
Concept paints colors that were previously unavailable in Australia.
Named Violet Touch, Victory
Blue and Viper Green, the colors are among the 40 paint finishes offered in the
U.S. through the Spektrum Program in 2018. Each of these paints is hand-applied
in a specialized factory shop before the car returns to the assembly line for
completion.
Picking one of these custom
colors adds just AU$ 300 (US$ 206) to the VW Golf R Final Edition’s AU$ 57,990
(US$ 39,805) starting price. The remaining 300 Final Edition models will be
offered in the already available Pure White, Lapiz Blue and Deep Black colors
at no extra cost.
Besides the custom colors,
standard equipment for the Golf R Final Edition includes 19-inch black Pretoria
alloys, gloss black mirror caps, Carbon Nappa leather seats and an upgraded
Dynaudio sound system. The only option Aussie customers will be offered is a
panoramic glass sunroof costing AU$ 1,900 (US$ 1,305).
Nothing changes from a
mechanical standpoint as the Golf R Final Edition packs a 2.0-liter turbo-four
engine which makes 286 HP and 380 Nm of torque.
Power is sent to all four wheels via a seven-speed DSG transmission and 4Motion
AWD system.
