2015 VW Golf R - U-T San Diego
The 2015 VW Golf R is a near-supercar trapped in the body of a five-door hatchback. Not that the body style hurts its performance, but the Golf R’s level of ability goes way beyond its humble body style and even that of the slightly-less-sporty Golf GTI. It uses VW’s new 2. 0-liter turbocharged and direct-injection four-cylinder that is pressurized to 292 horsepower with 280 foot-pounds of torque at a very low 1,800 rpm. Power on in Race mode and the engine spits sparks tearing through the six gears of the direct-shift automatic gearbox. 2015 Volkswagen Golf R Body style: compact, 5-pass. 5-door high-performance, all-wheel drive hatchback.
