Volkswagen has achieved a 7:47.31 Nürburgring lap in its Golf R 20 Years, making it the fastest R around the circuit -
20 Years, a special edition built to celebrate, you guessed it, 20 years of the R badge appearing on a Golf. It has already set a lap time around the fearsome Nürburgring Nordschleife, setting the fastest time yet in a Golf, but lap times aren’t the element we’re curious about in this new special. That’s because evo’s had a somewhat complex relationship with the eighth generation, and in particular the Golf R.
So it came as very good news back in May that Volkswagen had something up its sleeve, resulting in this Golf R 20 Years, which features a range of subtle updates that we’re hoping will make the Mk8 Golf realise its full potential. These start under the bonnet, where the same turbocharged 2-litre four-cylinder engine has been given an extra boost with a higher peak power figure of 328bhp – a 12bhp increase over the current model.
On said rubber, Volkswagen has lapped its new Golf R 20 Years around the Nürburgring Nordschleife setting a 7:47.31 time that makes it quicker than any previous Golf, including the front-wheel drive lap record-breakingVisually, the Golf R Performance Pack’s taller rear wing is the only physical change aside from those fetching blue wheels, although there is some bespoke R 20 badging on the rear bumper and door pillar garnish.
