VW’s Golf R Performance Pack Looks And Sounds Fast

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.
