The new Volkswagen Golf R is VW's hottest hatch to date

Drum roll, please: VW has finally launched the new Golf R. Following on from the new regular Mk8.5 Golf and the new Golf GTI, the hottest VW hatch is now here and it’s nearly 20 horsepower hotter.

There have been tweaks to the four-pot's thermal management , and we’re told VW’s tinkered with the ignition to give us a more emotive acoustic experience , enhanced by an Akrapovic titanium exhaust.VW reckons the all-wheel-drive R should be more dynamic and less thirsty. It’s even introduced an ‘eco’ driving mode, which we couldn’t see anyone in an R engaging anytime soon.
