  • Finally! First real-life Autobahn acceleration / Launch Control test with the all-new 2020 / 2021 VW Golf 8 R (MK8) powered by the range topping 2.0 TSI delivering 320 hp & 420 Nm of torque (total weight: 1551 kg). Of course this car is AWD but it also features a tricky torque vectoring system at the real-axle which not only enables the "Drift Mode" but also seems to have a positive effect on traction in Launch Control mode! But please watch yourself and tell me your thoughts? Please make sure to also follow all our stuff about this car on instagram! #Golf8R #Autobahn #Akrapovic

      What about a remapped 7.5? From a first hand experience in the new Golf 8, the interior is a massive let down. Plasticky and a lack of buttons makes navigating really difficult. The buttons on the steering wheel also make no sense with no answer call button... Take from it what you will :)

    • @milinddixit6583
      @milinddixit6583 3 роки тому

      @Iron Arm Yeah I use the DSG stick in my MK7 R all the time. Also good to change gears if you can't reach the paddles like when cornering. I love the MK8 exterior looks and performance, but they've cut corners on some materials. But this is better than the GTI which has really cheap black plastic trim on the outside. At least with the R they've gone body coloured metal door sills and gloss black diffuser. But the price is crazy at the moment. For that money you could get a very good used RS3, a pre-OPF one even.

    Even using launch control, in those conditions and with those tires, hitting 100 kph in 4.4s with 315 hp is truly amazing. You do have to factor in the transmission too. The Golf R had always had one of the better paddle autos for any cars like 60k+ and less down to it’s starting price. And although I’d never choose any automatic over a manual, the golf r’s trans being able to shift so fast is a big part of that 4.4s time. Quite impressive.

    Great review and great car. Might just be tempted. Can you advise could you operate the capacitive switches on steering wheel with gloves on?

    Very quick and sounds great what was Audi thinking making that vacuum S3 . Which sounds shit

      I think the S3 nowadays has a different target group, but yess agree.

    I laughed when the MK5 just drove past then proceeded to keep the distance.

      You can clearly see that R begins to gain on him once it pass 200km/h. Mk5 was going its top speed around 200km/h.
