New Volkswagen Golf R surprises with drift mode and retains “mechanics” – Motor

Other improvements concern the chassis: the Golf R has a recalibrated suspension, springs and stabilizers have increased by 10 percent, negative camber on the front axle has been increased by 1.2 degrees, and the ground clearance has been reduced by 20 millimeters from the regular version. Compared to the “erka” of the previous generation, the brakes have been improved: the two-piston calipers are 60 percent lighter, and the brake discs are larger and stronger. DCC adaptive dampers as standard

The Golf R has its own driving modes: for example, there is a Special superstructure specially adapted for the Nürburgring North Loop. It is claimed that the Nordschleife new Golf R with “robot” travels 17 seconds faster than its predecessor, but the exact time is kept secret.

The interior of the Golf R is fundamentally different from other versions only with its profiled front seats upholstered in Nappa leather. Otherwise, the touches have changed: there are inserts “under the carbon”, a steering wheel with R marking and a special decor.
