Product Details

2012 Volkswagen Golf R, finished in Rising Blue Metallic with a Titan Black interior. This Golf R features the desirable 6-speed manual transmission. According to the build sheet provided in the gallery, factory equipment includes 18-inch "Talladega" alloy wheels, dual tailpipes, sport suspension, a power sunroof, heated and power-adjustable front sport seats, and cruise control. Modifications reported by the seller include an APR Stage 1 ECU tune, an ECS adjustable short shifter kit, LED taillights, tinted windows and exterior lights, and black VW badges.Volkswagen introduced the Golf R for the 2012 model year as the quickest and most powerful series-produced evolution of the sixth-generation Golf. Putting a powerful engine and all-wheel drive in a humble Golf was a formula that worked beautifully. R owners enjoyed impressive performance, sharp handling, and the versatility of a hatchback with split-folding rear seats.Power comes from an 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine, rated at 256 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque in stock form. APR claims that its Stage 1 ECU tune increases those figures up to 310 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, but a dyno sheet was not provided to confirm. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission and Volkswagen's Haldex 4Motion all-wheel-drive system.
