Love all the golf R’s. Can’t wait for this one. Would love to buy an R one day.

The led bar between the headlights can be turned off individually.

Excited to find out the final announcement from VW on the full details of the Golf 8 R 👍

I’ve been holding out for this for so long! My Mk7 Golf R is great but the Mk8 is exciting me a lot!

Volkswagen, even though the US wants SUVs now, Thank you so much for not leaving us enthusiasts behind. I love my 2015 GTI and it’s amazing. I can’t wait for you guys to bring the new generation Golf GTI and R to the states. The car looks absolutely beautiful. (And before anyone replies to me saying this for the world, obviously yes but what I mean is that I’m happy they’re still giving the US this car despite sales of compacts going down)

Absoluter Traumwagen. Leider bin ich erst 15 und habe noch keinen Führerschein, und kann mir dieses Auto in diesen jungen Jahren leider nicht leisten, vielleicht geht dieser Traum irgendwann mal in Erfüllung.

Amazing to see Passo Rombo in the middle of the film. How wonderful is it. Great! Well done in choosing such a drifty road!

I’d be so willing to purchase once i have to $$…. IF buttons come back on the steering wheel and the infotainment system AND if i get the shifter back for automatic transmission 😭

5:26 - did they say 18” brake discs ? 😅
Love the new car - well done R team!

[sinnaever]

Very Nice, well produced video! Love the look, still love my MK7 R, but glad to see a new model coming out. Keep the R's alive!

I'm a GTI 7 owner in Taiwan, but this promotional video makes my heart pumping.

[rodrigomonteiro]

Loved it! Would like to buy a GolfR one day! By the way, what’s the starting price?

[SurprisedSalmon]

Great premier. Thanks R Team.

I am really gutted there is no 3 door option however I am looking forward to speccing one up when the configurator is online. Do you know when this may be?

[asvinkumaar]

will all the r models be launced in malaysia

[JoshYaDunoe]

What about the rumored "Plus" model ??

[ryanbunning]

Is there any chance that the Tiguan R would make it to the US?

[karolczarnecki]

Drift mode comes only with performance pack or you don’t need to buy performance and it comes just with dcc.
