Here is the most powerful and fastest accelerating derivatives of the Scirocco and Golf ever produced: GolfR & Scirocco R.
Fitted with a 2.0-litre TSI four-cylinder engine and a six speed manual gearbox as standard, the Scirocco R develops 265 PS (261 HP) and 350Nm (258 lbs ft) of torque while the Golf R produces 270 PS (266 HP) and 350Nm (258 lbs ft) of torque. A six-speed DSG gearbox is available as an option on both models.
The range-topping Scirocco R accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.0 seconds, falling to 5.8 seconds when equipped with the DSG gearbox, while achieving a combined figure of 6.8 l/100km (34.9 mpg), 6.7 l/100km (DSG 35.3 mpg) and 189 g/km of CO2 (187 for DSG).
The Golf R is the fastest accelerating Volkswagen ever produced, with a 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62mph) sprint taking just 5.7 seconds. As with the Scirocco, the DSG gearbox shaves a further two tenths of a second from this time, falling to 5.5 seconds. Despite this impressive performance, the Golf R returns 7.1 l/100km (33.2 mpg), 7.0 l/100km (DSG 33.6 mpg) on the combined cycle and CO2 emissions of 199 g/km (195g DSG).
Both the Scirocco R and Golf R models have a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). For the first time on an ‘R’ model, the Scirocco R channels power though the front wheels and is fitted with the XDS electronic cross-axle traction control system to ensure improved grip in all conditions. The Golf R, available in both three- and five-door bodystyles, uses a pre-charged hydraulic version of Volkswagen’s 4MOTION four wheel drive system. This system can react quicker than previous 4MOTION systems while also limiting torque to maximise traction and minimise wheelspin.
