Press Release
The North American International Auto Show will see a U.S. entrance of a latest Golf R, a many absolute chronicle of a Golf ever to be sole in this market. With an estimated 290 horsepower, a new Golf R has 34 hp some-more than a prior version, that was sole as a 2013 model. Despite a additional horsepower, a new R indication is approaching to be extremely some-more fuel-efficient than a predecessor: on a European cycle, a automobile is gets a total figure of 33 mpg with a six-speed primer transmission, adult from 28 mpg.
Like all 3 prior Golf R models, a new indication transfers a turbocharged energy to a highway around a permanent all-wheel-drive system; in this case, a latest chronicle of a 4MOTION® complement with a fifth-generation Haldex® coupling. To safeguard good framework dynamics, there’s a new competition suspension, a “progressive” variable-ratio steering system, and a fortitude control complement (“ESC Sport”) that can now be deactivated for lane driving. Other highlights embody a discretionary DCC energetic framework control system.
Equipped with a six-speed primer transmission, a Golf R will strech 62 mph from rest in 5.3 seconds, an alleviation of 0.4 seconds over a aged car; with a six-speed DSG® dual-clutch involuntary transmission, a automobile completes a scurry in usually 4.9 seconds.
The new Golf R is versed with an endless package of disdainful features. Along with privately designed bumpers, side skirts, and 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, a Golf R can also be visually renowned from a GTI by sum such as customary Bi-Xenon headlights with newly designed LED daytime regulating lights (in a dual-U design) and a two-branch empty complement with 4 chrome tips. Inside, a Golf R underlines a position as a flagship of a indication operation with competition seats with leather seating surfaces, a leather-wrapped three-spoke competition steering wheel, ambient lighting, and R-specific instrumentation. The many absolute and fuel-efficient Golf R will be launched in a U.S. in a initial entertain of 2015 in four-door form only.
High-tech turbocharged engine
The Golf R has an even some-more modernized chronicle of a EA888 four-cylinder turbocharged and direct-injection TSI® 2.0-liter engine that’s propitious to a new Golf GTI. The engineers increasing energy to an estimated 290 hp, delivered during 5500 rpm, so formulating one of a many absolute four-cylinder prolongation engines in a world. Maximum torque has been increasing to 280 pound-feet, accessible over a extended speed rope from 1800 to 5500 rpm. To achieve this output, a Golf R model’s 1984-cc engine was subjected to a motorsports-style growth program. The following components were mutated or totally redesigned compared to a GTI engine: a cylinder conduct (together with empty valves, valve seats, and springs), pistons, high-pressure injection system, and turbocharger.
The Golf R model’s EA888 array engine has innovative engineering solutions such as water-cooled empty gas channels regulating by a cylinder conduct to a turbocharger (to assistance good revoke full-load fuel consumption) and a twin injection complement with approach and multi-port injection. Thanks to a new fully-electronic coolant control system, a Golf R TSI engine has many some-more fit thermal government with a reduced warm-up proviso that reduces frictional waste and fuel consumption. In addition, a TSI engine has non-static valve timing on a intake and empty sides, as good as two-stage exhaust-valve lift. This helps capacitate optimal control of a assign sell routine for softened performance, fuel economy, and reduce emissions.
4MOTION all-wheel-drive system
The Golf R has always used 4MOTION permanent all-wheel drive. Using refinements such as a Haldex 5 coupling, a latest-generation 4MOTION complement is activated before any wheelspin occurs, assisting discharge scarcely all traction losses. The complement achieves this by regulating an modernized control duty formed on specific pushing conditions. When doing underneath a comparatively low bucket or when coasting, a front wheels are driven and a behind wheels are decoupled, assisting to save fuel. However, a behind wheels can be intent in fractions of a second whenever required around a Haldex coupling, that is activated by an electro-hydraulic oil pump.
A control section ceaselessly calculates a ideal expostulate torque for a behind wheels and controls how many a multi-plate purchase should be sealed by activating a oil pump. The oil vigour increases a hit vigour during a purchase plates in suit to a torque preferred during a behind axle. So, a volume of vigour practical to a purchase plates can be used to invariably change a volume of torque going between a front and behind wheels. If necessary, scarcely 100 per cent of a expostulate torque can be destined to a behind wheels.
In serve to a Haldex coupling that acts longitudinally, 4 electronic differential thatch (EDS) that are a duty of a electronic fortitude control complement act laterally. The complement quickly brakes a circle that is slipping, enabling undeviating and quick send of expostulate energy to a circle on a conflicting side.
In addition, a Golf R is versed with a XDS® cranky differential close during a front and rear. The latest version, famous as XDS+, relates this functionality to a incomparable operation of energetic performance, assisting make a automobile some-more agile. When a automobile is being driven during highway speeds, stop vigour is practical to a inside circle to assistance revive optimal traction as shortly as a wiring detect excessively light loads. XDS+ thereby operates like a limited-slip differential and so compensates for understeer during faster cornering.
The new Golf R is versed with “ESC Sport” as standard. The complement is activated by a two-stage switch on a core console. When a motorist presses this switch briefly, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) switches to a “ESC Sport” mode. In really quick pushing on a competition track, a ESC complement has a aloft threshold in this mode. When a ESC symbol is pulpy for longer than 3 seconds, a complement is entirely deactivated for high-performance lane driving, a underline that is accessible usually on a Golf R.
Chassis features
The Golf R facilities a competition cessation setup that is privately tuned to a car. Compared to a bottom Golf, a float tallness was forsaken by 0.8 inches, that creates a Golf R reduce by 0.2 inches than a GTI. In a Golf R, a strut-type front cessation has a newly grown reduce control arm and a multi-link behind cessation was extended with opposite tuning of a toe-link bearings.
The engineers designed a regulating rigging of a new Golf R for limit pushing fun total with unusual fortitude and good long-distance comfort. Compared to a prior model, steering response was softened interjection to a new “progressive” non-static ratio steering rack. In addition, limit receptive cornering speeds were significantly increasing and understeer all though eliminated.
With on-going steering, there are 2.1 turns of a circle (380 degrees) from close to lock, compared with 2.75 turns (500 deg) for reduction absolute Golf models. The new steering operates with a on-going rigging ratio, merely shortening steering bid in maneuvering and parking. On nation roads with lots of bends, a knowledge is extended since a steering is some-more direct.
The new Golf R can be systematic with a second-generation DCC energetic framework control as an option. DCC offers 3 pushing modes: ‘Comfort’, ‘Normal’, and ‘Sport’, that are comparison and displayed around a core console touchscreen as partial of a “Driving Profile Selector” functionality. In “Sport” mode, a dampers are stiffened for some-more flexible handling.
The DCC complement adaptively controls a check valves around a serve grown and polished control algorithm. DCC takes submit signals from circle banishment sensors and accelerometers as good as automobile information from a Chassis-CAN train to discriminate these values and adaptively adjust a optimal damping force. Moreover, damping army are selectively practical to a 4 wheels individually. With a new era of DCC, it is now probable to exclusively change miscarry and application damping while cornering.
Race mode. The Driving Profile Selector has 3 programs in a Golf R, and 4 in and with DCC: “Normal”, “Individual”, and a “Race” mode that has been privately designed for a Golf R. In multiple with DCC, “Comfort” mode is also available. All modes were privately tuned for a Golf R. In “Race” mode, that is designed for high-speed lane driving, damping is increasing and engine response and a change points of a DSG delivery are configured to be even sportier. In a “Individual” pushing profile, a motorist can mix mode settings for several particular parameters.
Brakes. The Golf R has a uprated brakes from a GTI Performance model. At a front, a automobile has 13.4-inch hole vented discs that are 1.2 inches thick, while a behind rotors are 12.2 by 0.9 inches. The black stop calipers have a R trademark on them. Up front, a stop pistons are 2.4 inches in hole and are 1.7 inches during a back.
Exterior
Volkswagen R GmbH has grown countless new extraneous elements for a flagship Golf. They embody a bumpers, side skirts, behind diffuser, twin chrome empty tips per side, a lights, and customary 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels.
The Golf R is renowned during a front by a new fender pattern with unusually vast atmosphere inlets, a mutated radiator grille that sports an “R” logo, and newly grown daytime regulating lights that are integrated into a Bi-Xenon headlight housings. The LED daytime regulating lights form a particular twin “U” pattern underneath a headlights.
From a side, a Golf R is characterized by newly designed 18-inch “Cadiz” aluminum-alloy wheels shod with 225/40 tires, black stop calipers with a “R” logo, body-color “R” character side skirts, “R” badges on a front fenders, and “Matte chrome” doorway counterpart caps.
Rear sum that conclude a new Golf R embody an “R” pattern diffuser, 4 chrome tailpipes, and an “R” trademark on a trunklid.
Interior
As in a 3 prior Golf R models, Volkswagen R GmbH has extensively upgraded a interior. The many absolute Golf is versed with competition seats in a front and leather seating surfaces that underline outdoor chair surfaces, middle side support panels, and conduct restraints upholstered in dim “Carbon” Nappa leather. Meanwhile, a core sections of a seats are embellished in dim or light Nappa leather. Leather is also used to trim a top and reduce hold zones of a three-spoke “R” competition steering wheel, that has a chrome “R” trademark on a reduce cranky bar.
The musical inlays of a dashboard and doorway trim panels underline a “Carbon Touch” design; ambient lighting is also integrated in a doorway trim panels as standard. The doorway sill kickplates, pedals, and feet support are designed with a stainless-steel look.
The instruments and a touchscreen’s start menu were also customized. When a ignition is switched on, a bright light-blue tachometer and speedometer needles brush once opposite a whole scale to their finish pins. The instrument needles are also automatically bright as shortly as a driver’s doorway is opened. The radio or navigation-system touchscreen shows an charcterised “R” trademark on startup.
The new-generation radio and radio/navigation systems will be accessible with a 5.8-inch shade on U.S. marketplace Golf R models. The touchscreen facilities vicinity sensors: as shortly as a motorist or front newcomer moves a finger nearby to a touchscreen, a complement automatically switches from arrangement mode to submit mode.
