Volkswagen first introduced it’s Golf R at last year’s Frankfurt Motor Show – the 270hp 2-liter turbo and all-wheel-drive hot hatch is currently the most powerful and fastest series production Golf ever made. We have already brought you all the finer details of the Golf R and Scirocco R last year but now we have more pictures as VW has release new pictures shot during the international driving presentation in Ellmau, Austria.

Just a little recap – the Golf R does the century sprint in 5.7 seconds when equipped with a manual gearbox and 5.5 seconds when mated to VW’s optional DSG dual clutch transmission. With both transmissions, top speed is still limited to 250km/h. That’s going to be a handful for a car this size and weight, but it all lives up to the Golf’s fun hot-hatch background, so we’re not complaining, just eagerly awaiting.

Hope it still has the same spirit as the GTi-R....
Come to think of it... Hey Nissan bring back the GTi-R since the GTR has already been reincarnated.

damn it, VW really knows how to make hatches look good. BMW, merc and audi need to learn something from them.

awesome..!

those who haven't, i suggest u guys should go to the dealer and test drive the standard GTI, even the mk5 is good enuff..

i promise that you'd be surprised. it's not about being super quick and fast, but it's about the refinement, the poise and making it the ultimate do-it-all car.. :)
