Volkswagen Golf R acceleration, sound, exterior

[vectrabarnie]

harm, automatic...

[klaprat]

That's a really good video!

[ChaosNanite]

What a sad end to an era. I have no idea why they didn't keep the R32 format, but going to a 2.0 is definitely a step backwards.

[crazychicken278]

Why the fuck would you upload this in 360p if it was shot on a 1D MKIV?

[MrLithso]

@xampx2k7 I knew it, but I doubt it was the R32 250 hp without turbo ... Add a turbo on the V6 ... The R32 was a big acceleration for air And the sound of the V6!!.. but good with a turbo it would have been more expensive ... but when you do not like you do not count: D

[sssukaPSN]

FAG rules

[MrLithso]

R32 THE BEST why VW not produce 3.2 v6 in mk6 ??

[xampx2k7]

@MrLithso Because the poor fuel economy that it gets and its impossible to make any real power with the V6 where as a simple tune will put the R up 40HP and 60TQ

[schwalbstar]

@MrLithso Heavy, Fuel, Downsizing.

[daizmiester]

For some reason this car still sounds like a V6 from the interior

[hiebda]

amazing

[daniel32quattro]

DENMARK

[Intelpentium54321]

so thats where hyundai got that acceleration

[elixxur]

What a quiet R :P

[darkhorse000]

Don't call it the new R32... you'd have to call it an R2, or an R20. Sorry, but I believe the R32 still has larger brakes? :)

[nh091190001]

Wow .. on danish plates thats very very expensive ..

[AndersO1983]

@nh091190001 87.250 euros to have it on Danish plates. Taxes on cars here are approximately 180%, combined with 25% VAT.

[nh091190001]

@AndersO1983 I know the danish taxes, i'm from flensburg and went to school in denmark and I'm living in aarhus now.. it's simply crazy .. :D

[Saif5849]

Does it reach the 300?

[kimuoi85]

nice vid

[morph318]

The Golf R is a lot faster in the right hands,and th power keeps on coming on and on... :) amazing car!! :)

[davewinst1]

Shit sound compared to the r32, the theatricals of the car have disappeared. Yes it may be quicker, more efficient etc etc, but people who buy a car of this nature want the sound above all else. Bring back the old r32 please!.

[seanymo]

i want the v6

[raurimckenna]

such a good video, and beautiful car

[mattiaR270]

bella!!!



[nicolasclerc1986]

It's 4-Cylinders, 2.0l turbo.

Pretty nice car to drive, it's a very good compromise between performances and confort.

[24Slexani]

how mutch cilinders has this car btw?

[hairulfr]

@24Slexani 4 :) it's a 2.0l turbo

[24Slexani]

@hairulfr no i6 ? :s that 4 cil pushes out 300 hp man thats amazing

[theCein]

@24Slexani 4



[BeExperienced]

I wouldn't swap my .:R32 for it..

[Milchenx3]

wenn das ein 6 Zylinder währ, dan währ das Auto ein Traum auf 4 allradrädern :)

[DrDownBrowns]

This sounds nice but lacks in the "daaammnn" department that the previous r32 excelled in.

[XxPropheticxX]

I'm just curious, since I haven't been in the new golf R, can someone that has the experience tell me if it fades after 100kph, from the videos that I've seen it seems as if it does... Someone correct me?

[hairulfr]

@XxPropheticxX I keeps going, I think, but when you get to like 150 and you wanna go faster it seems to sort of die.

[jackytan555]

@hairulfr i think because of its has a limited speed?

[BoyOfSteel101]

@XxPropheticxX yeah, at about 140-150 simply because the engine isn't that big, it begins to fade, don't get me wrong it is still fast but it's 0-100 time is deff where it shines but the 1/4 mile is where it starts to decline, also it corners like a monster, it's incredible on a track.

[NoongaFindAphone]

I respect VW for how well they have tuned this car.. but come one VW the .:R32 sounded PERFECT why take that away?

[iulixxx]

great car....love it

[beast2711]

@hairulfr The color is reflex silver right ?

[ztikmaen]

The only reason people like myself like the R32s is because you can pull up next to a Lancer and laugh at his tiny 2.0

[bigbad1000do7a]

is dis replacement for r32? can u plx explain the golf line up..which is the smallest and slowest and which is the fastest?

[weirdvideosdude]

R32 Still sounds better :P

[pipiligrama]

automatic = gay

[FASTBOOBS]

..BUT: IS It AN R32 ENGINE? ...I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS PUT ON THIS MODEL...

[TypeDoubleR]

nice video editing. Too bad the car is butt ugly

[jimini34]

That poor exhaust is trying so hard to be an R32!

[Wolfdale11]

Nice video!

Golf R in Denmark must have cost a fortune.

[su6oxone]

Nicely made video, but the intro is too long and the video ends rather abruptly.

[hairulfr]

Thanks for all the views and all the comments. It's really appreciated.

No, it doesn't sound anything like the R32 but it feels more alive and racier and it has some very nice sounds on upchanges. I too would prefer the 3.2 V6 but EU-legislation is slowly putting a stop to fun and games.

[YaakYaakYaak]

i really like what they did with the body kit on the mrk6 body style. i was thinking about getting one of these when they got to the states but decided on the r32 as i keep hearing about the 2.0s burning up over here due to the turbos. however honestly feel that car needs a res delete. give a nice vw growl. def did a nicer job with the dsg tranny this time around. nice car.

[RockyNakuz]

last part auto control??????

[yourfast07]

VW should of made 3.2 turbo, that would sound better

[slickvibez16]

i loved everything. even the super quick change into D ;) you shoulda gotten a manual!

[Ximon1986]

300 km/h at the gauge a bit optimistic ;)

[EboyBB]

@Ximon1986 Not really. An APR Stage 4 GTI can go about 300kmh.

[Ximon1986]

@EboyBB

Mayby. But not a stock one and this is what I meant...

[Ximon1986]

@EboyBB

Maybe. But not the stock one. And this is what i meant.

[Ximon1986]

@EboyBB

Maybe but not the stock one. And this is what I meant... A rabbit with a rocket in his ass can go 300 too..

[Ximon1986]

@EboyBB

A rabbit with a rocket in his ass can go 300 too. I meant the stock Golf R..

[tragedypoet]

Amazing video, amazing car! Nice job hairulfr, keep up the good work :).

[colin4393]

If only all car presentation videos were as good as this one.

Well done!

[monca01]

Quite and fast! What else can you ask for?

Great!!!

[twinturbosix]

i'm not impressed with this new R. the old one had much more grunt to it, the exhaust note sounds cheap, and the sound from the interior doesn't inspire confidence...

[jimini34]

@twinturbosix Totally agree with you there!!

[thejewels92]

nice vid!

[razvan91bxl]

no nice car VERRY NICE CARRR AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGG

[acidmatar]

[ironhidef1]

[CDusa51]

[RazorWind92]

@CDusa51 4wd

[AHNAYAL8R]

@CDusa51 AWD man. (4WD)

[SiktiRLanBurasi36]

Schön und Schnell.Sound voll fürn Arsch.

oldshool Vr6 sound 1

golf 4 r32 sound 1**

golf 5 r32 sound 1****

golf 6 R sound einfach schwach.-(((

[Andreas20092010]

great video and great car !

[VWMoparGuy425]

I hope they put a stick in these cars. i cant stand automatic :/

[Chil1i]

@VWMoparGuy425....Surely someone with VW in their name understands the differences between automatic and Double Clutch.....there is no auto option on the Golf.

[Spentren]

What a beautiful car.

[shakespearez1]

Very nice mate! 3 months till my R arrives, can't wait

[sodazman]

This car is faster but the old R32 sounded miles better than this.

[RuneLuk]

@sodazman yeah, I agree, 

[mr8ball1]

@sodazman totally agree! the reason to why so many people fell in love with the mkIV & V r32's was not just because they were quick, but because the sound was second to none.. i see that the R has substituted sound for speed :(

[AndreasFalk8]

@sodazman 'cause the r32 had a v6. 6 cylinders always sound better

[FunkMastaMegaFlex]

@sodazman Hell yeah it did. I kinda miss the look of the old R32 as well. It had a more unique appearence this looks a lot more like all the other rides on the streets 2day

[accordv6er]

@sodazman yeah but this does sound better than a standard GTI for whatever reason. It's different. Maybe the camera has a part in this. but yes, the VR6 had perhaps on of the best sounds ever.

[FisheeC3]

Too quiet!!

[DkzFilmz]

nice shots, u used another lens?

[hairulfr]

@DkzFilmz I only used the 24-70 2.8 and the 16-35 2.8 (for the interior).

[DkzFilmz]

@hairulfr ok =]

[golfrforum]

Nice video - love the exhast noise and acceleration. Check out R Forum for discerning info and chat about the Golf R and Scirocco R. Google "R Forum" to find us! See you there.

[hairulfr]

@golfrforum I shall check it out :)

[Pietiapk]

it is white or silver?

[hairulfr]

@Pietiapk It is silver. Silver grey, the borchure says, I think.

[Mailme81]

Very stylish video.. Just like the R!!

[hairulfr]

@Mailme81 Cheers!

[turbomakis]

Nicee!!!thanx!!!!
