Brief History on the Golf R
The Volkswagen Golf R was first introduced in 2003 and other R-branded models were soon showcased years down the line, VW golf R developed into one of the most proficient hot hatchbacks available. It also makes a decent foundation for customization/modifying due to its well-designed engine . But to succeed the carmaker realized that it needed to employ smaller engines, not a V6 like the R32. Furthermore, the Golf R has been powered by a turbocharged inline-four engine with all-wheel drive since the 2006 model. From 266 horse power to 328 horse power in the 2024 Golf R, the power rose throughout time.
