Volkswagen went about it rather quietly but it has been revealed that the facelifted Golf R will now be offered with an optional Performance Pack. So what does this pack get you?
- No change in power output
- 0 to 100 km/h remains at 4.6 seconds
- Speed limiter removed means new top speed is 267 km/h
- New titanium exhaust which is 7kg’s lighter (Akrapovic)
- Exhaust produces a much better exhaust note too (watch clip below)
- Front bumper makes use of air curtains for further aerodynamic optimisation
- New lip spoiler is attached to the top of the hatchback roof
- New exhausts system housed in more aggressive rear diffuser
It is not yet known if this will be offered to South Africa.
