VW Golf R MK7.5 (2017/67)

SOLD

Building on the success of previous generations of Golf R32 and R models, in 2012 VW released the latest flagship to the Golf Range; the MK7 Golf R. Utilising the same MQB platform as the third-generation Audi A3 and SEAT León, The Golf R was meant to further highlight the sporting credentials of the chassis over and above the already very capable GTI model.

Making use of the fifth-generation in Haldex 4MOTION four-wheel drive system, the MK7 Golf also benefited from VW’s Dynamic Chassis Control allowing for adjustment to damper settings dependent on driving style preference and a modified version of the inline 4 cylinder, 2 litre turbo engine found in the GTI.

The results were impressive including a drop in 0-62mph time of 0.5 seconds over the previous generation MK6 Golf and a more complete performance driving experience. At the same time you still benefited from all the usual practical refinements that have come to make the VW Golf such an icon.

In 2016, a facelift version of the MK7 car was released. Alongside a host of external and internal cosmetic enhancements to the car, the Golf R was also given a modest 10bhp upgrade in power.

INVESTMENT THESIS

It gives us great pleasure to offer for sale this beautifully specified Pure White 3 door MK7.5 Golf R. First registered in September 2017, this particular example having covered only 15,700 miles from new has been meticulously cared for by its previous owners and comes with full VW service history and is in sensational condition both inside and out. The car will be having a full service at VW before being collected by its new owner.

The comprehensive options list on this car includes the very desirable Pretoria black alloy wheels, rear tinted glass, Titan black race cloth interior, Lane assist package and Discovery navigation pack. The car also comes with a full Milltek sports exhaust system and 4x brand new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres.

In 2018, due to ever evolving emissions regulatory changes combined with lower customer demand for a 3 door variant, VW decided to discontinue production of the manual 3 door Golf R. Our example therefore presents the opportunity to purchase one of the last 3 door manual cars to roll off the production line.
