    Volkswagen Golf R 20 Years Revealed as Most Powerful Production Golf Ever

    Volkswagen has decided to build a new Golf R to celebrate 20 years of the Volkswagen R performance division and it has now become the most powerful version of the Golf ever put into production.

    It has been dubbed the Volkswagen Golf R 20 Years for obvious reasons and the EA888 turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder has been dialled up to produce 328 hp (245 kW) giving it a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 4.7 seconds.

    Volkswagen has even gone so far as to integrate a raft of new design and technical features, including a new Emotional Start function that revs the engine up to 2500 rpm on start-up, which it says “heightens the anticipation of a typical R driving experience”.

    If you find yourself driving in S or S+ mode. the gearbox has been tinkered with to give “noticeable” feedback when shifting up, while the turbocharger has been reconfigured to run at a constant speed under partial throttle, which then makes for quicker acceleration on kick-down.

    This model comes standard with R-Performance pack which includes a rear spoiler on the roof, R-Performance Torque Vectoring and extra driving modes with Special and Drift settings.

    Cosmetically you will find R logos on the grille, fenders, and hatchback. The mirror caps are blue unless customers order the vehicle in that colour because then they are black. A “20” badge is on the B-pillar and is the image for the puddle lights. The hot hatch rides on 19-inch wheels with a two-tone black and blue colour scheme, or buyers can specify them entirely in black.

    Hop inside and you will find Nappa leather-covered sports seats as well as dashboard and door panels finished in carbon fibre – a first for Volkswagen.

    The Golf R 20 Years will be built as a limited-edition model until the middle of 2023, but Volkswagen has yet to confirm production numbers.

This indicates that the owner has a Mercedes-AMG One hypercar on order. Let's hope it makes its way to SA!

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
