The seventh generation (A7) Golf is surely the best one yet, and it has also produced the fastest VW ever made.
The new Golf R 5-door was revealed to the public at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, where it wowed people with one thing above all else: power. The same 2.0 turbo engine used by the Audi S3 has been fitted to this car, resulting in 300 horsepower delivered through a reworked all-wheel drive system. Models equipped with the DSG twin-clutch gearbox will also accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds, an unfathomable figure for a Golf. Volkswagen says that not only is the R more powerful than before, but it’s also 18% more economical.
