  • A warm welcome to everyone checking out my latest UA-cam video!
    In this episode, I share with you my thoughts on this 2020 Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR. One of only 300 vehicles ever imported into Australia, it is the fastest Golf GTI ever made. However, with a few tasteful modifications done to this car, that performance is pushed even further. Based on the Iconic Golf TCR Racecar, this limited edition model is the last and final offering for the 7th Generation Golf. Is it the best Golf GTI ever made?
    Thank you to the owner Kevin for sharing his pride and joy!

    We purchased one of these in Australia in 2020. the driveaway price on some of these with the pan roof was from $58.000 not $51.000.i sold my Golf R to buy this and love it. but it needs a stage 1 tune.then it would be more fun to drive. like the Golf R .they feel a bit lazy in standard tune,

    I have a tcr here in Ireland and the European car makes 380nm standard. Revo software offer a stage 1 remap giving minimum 475nm on shitty 95 octane fuel we have here. Have been thinking about the remap but afraid it will struggle badly for traction in the dry never mind the wet!!

      It is in fact 5.7 seconds unfortunately! The car is mighty quick once rolling but off the line it definitely struggles, a lot.
