Over and above the exceptional standard specification, these special edition models include an extra selection of must-have features. Feel the wind in your hair with the added panoramic sunroof or, tune in to the Harman Kardon premium sound system.

If you’re lucky enough to secure a Golf R Special Edition, there are two additional drive modes that will really get your blood pumping. Choose from “Drift” and “Special – Nürburgring” for the ultimate R experience.

Ready for precision at every turn?

Handle every road like a racetrack with a new first from Volkswagen; 4MOTION with R-Performance Torque Vectoring. This all-wheel-drive technology distributes drive not just between the front and rear axles, but also variably between the two rear wheels. Delivering 100% of the possible torque to the wheel on the outside of the bend, it enables an exhilarating drive with maximum grip and stability.

Exclusive to Golf R 1st Edition, “Drift” profile is a party trick you just need to experience.

The “Drift” profile selection distributes 100% of the rear torque to one wheel for optimal driving dynamics away from public roads. This feature opens up a whole new level of driving dynamics and further exploits the potential of torque vectoring by provoking oversteer instead of neutral vehicle handling.
