2021 VW Golf R Teased As The Most Powerful Productio

It was just yesterday when we saw a test prototype of the new Volkswagen Golf R lapping the Nurburgring and today, the Wolfsburg-based manufacturer has released the first official teaser of the hot hatch. It’s dubbed as the most powerful production Golf in the history of the brand’s best-seller, which should be revealed in full on November 4 this year.

Volkswagen doesn’t go deep into technical details about the new Golf R but says it is “more powerful, more dynamic, more efficient, more closely integrated, more digital” than its predecessor. The highlight of the drivetrain is a new all-wheel-drive system with selective wheel torque control on the rear axle. It uses an advanced dynamics management system that works together with an electronic front differential lock and adaptive chassis control.

Following its debut on Wednesday next week, the new Golf R goes on sale shortly after with the first presales in Europe scheduled to begin on November 5. The performance vehicle is expected to reach showrooms in two flavors, hatchback and wagon, and should be available in the United States at some point in 2021 - but only as a hatchback.
