http://Carwp.blogspot.com.br (from Volkswagen Press Release) Volkswagen has launched the sportiest all-round vehicle of the compact class in Europe: the new VW Golf R Variant. For the first time since the model range was established - the first generation made its debut in 2002 - the Golf R, the icon of four-wheel drive compact sports cars, is being launched as an Variant car. The exclusive model produces 221 kW / 300 PS of power. The turbocharged engine of the Golf R Variant transfers up to 380 Nm torque to the permanent 4MOTION four-wheel drive system via its standard 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG). Distributing this drive power to all four wheels guarantees maximum traction, performance and active safety. Delivering pure dynamic performance are a sport suspension (lowered 20 mm), the innovative progressive steering system and "ESC Sport" - which can be fully deactivated for use on a race track. Optional highlights include the latest generation of the DCC adaptive chassis control system with a driving profile selector that features a Race mode.

0-100 km/h in 5.1 seconds and 7.0 litres per 100 km

The Volkswagen Golf R Variant accelerates from a standstill to 80 km/h in just 3.8 seconds and reaches 100 km/h in 5.1 seconds. The top speed of the sports car among Variant cars is electronically governed to 250 km/h. Its fuel consumption and emission figures show just how efficiently the turbocharged four-cylinder engine of the Golf R Variant operates. In the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), the sportiest Golf Variant ever consumes just 7.0 l/100 km; this figure equates to CO2 emissions of 164 g/km.

The Golf R Variant is one of very few sports cars that do not throw in the towel when it comes to leisure activities that require lots of space or even transporting an entire family. With a storage capacity of 605 litres (loaded up to the rear seat backrest), this Volkswagen offers an impressively large luggage area - even with five people on board.

Exterior

The exterior of the Volkswagen Golf R Variant follows the dominant lines of the hatchback model up to the B-pillars. Starting at the rear doors, special modifications outline the unique design of the Golf R Variant. At the rear, it is distinguished from the other Variant versions of the model series by a new bumper in "R" style, a high-gloss black diffuser, four chrome-plated tailpipe trims of the exhaust system, so-called "aero flaps" on the D-pillars and LED number plate illumination. Another standard feature in the VW Golf R Variant are the dark-red tail lights.

Front end

At the front, the Golf R Variant can be made out by the likewise R-specific bumper with very large air inlets, a unique radiator grille (with "R" logo) as well as standard bi-xenon headlights with integrated R-specific daytime running lights. The LED daytime running lights create a distinctive dual "U" pattern beneath the dual headlights; they project a particularly striking light pattern both day and night.

Side profile

From the side, the Volkswagen Golf R Variant is characterised by "R" style side sill panels painted in body colour, "R" logos on the front wings and "matt chrome" door mirror caps. The elegant black window trim matches the high-gloss elements at the front and rear. The 18-inch "Cadiz" alloy wheels that were specially designed for the R models have 225/40 size tyres; clearly visible behind them are the extremely fade resistant brakes with callipers painted in black (including "R" logo). The sportiest Golf Variant can also be ordered with optional 19-inch alloy wheels; Volkswagen offers "Cadiz" wheels in this size as well. In addition, "Pretoria" alloy wheels in motorsport design and the colours "grey metallic", "black", and "black with blue wheel flange" are exclusively available as 19-inch flow-formed wheels (exceptionally lightweight and sturdy).
