VW Golf R finally arrives! Passat CC R-line also revealed!
We waited, and waited, and the wait is now finally over. It is official - the Golf R has finally landed on our shores! Just to quickly go through the stats once more: 2.0L turbo mated to a 6-speed DSG box, 255PS and 330Nm, 4MOTION all-wheel drive system, Adaptive Chassis Control (DCC), lowered ride height, retuned springs, dampers and stabilizers, 19-inch 'Talladega' alloys wrapped in 235/35 R19 rubbers, zerotohundred in 5.7 seconds, and a top speed of 250km/h. On the inside, the Golf R sports the 'Motorsports Bucket Seats' that are upholstered in 'Vienna' leather, RNS510 paired with a 300W 8-speaker premium audio system, as well as a tilt/slide glass sunroof.
The Golf R is offered in six external shades - Candy White, Tornado Red, Rising Blue, Reflex Silver, United Grey, and Deep Black (our favourite is undoubtedly Rising Blue! This seems to be an increasingly popular colour in recent times) and is priced at RM268,888. It is available for booking at all authorized Volkswagen dealers nationwide.
Launched at the same time with was the Passat CC R-line. This car is packaged with more power and sportier handling with the added technical know-how of Volkswagen's R GmbH. At the heart of the Passat CC R-line is a 3.6L V6 that makes 300PS and 350Nm. Zerotohundred is achieved in 5.6 seconds with top speed claimed at 250km/h.
