hello to all, I present to you the most powerful golf in its history it is the Volkswagen Golf 8 R with 320 horsepower under the hood that you really know I tell you that right away on video in the summary of this video details and we will of course see together the tour of the owner the prices the different options what is it worth compared to its competitors Audi s3 and Mercedes A35 Amg I had the chance to drive the 3 so I could give you my precise opinion on its three cars and above all my choice we will of course together make the very important point of consumption when you have this kind of powerful car and of course I will give you my opinion on the road behavior of this golf r forward everything here we go here here is a guy who is farting where are the keys to the golf 1 8 rfk douala on the left or on the right we have two cars so in your opinion go to the answer for aaa nice stop busting it with your skoda octavia rs it's a diesel I tell you true noise agreement of the real sounds in France come on we will put from the top of the sound system he at the mister had put himself in sport mode yeah that nothing do you put in web mode so I didn't put myself in time so the world come on go ahead ah but no but no but no but no to the fusion just the box you have to put yourself in cv mode must which are cold in fact ah here very good point if your fingers are cold it won't work 1 1 well it ends at the rear tempting started later it's not bad attention you will have to be ready to sign the check for 3600 euros to have the akrapovic exhaust it is surely a boyfriend that's it and more and it's like good wine the longer it ages and the better it is good you make us see your sense especially to its guests in diesel ok go around 3500 rpm it backfires come on go little acceleration test yes but come on we In short, going to go around the owner a little bit about the novelties which started with a little bit of history, friends, since I t about more than 15 to 20 years ago we had the art of golf and three verses 6 then we had the mythical golf iv r32 and moreover then the bullish golf 5 32 still with this v6 so we is the vr6 we are the v6 there we went to 4 cylinders with the golf 6 r and then the golf this air which was almost the most successful of the golfs and then we went to the very last generation the golf 1 8th eighth generation d an even more powerful bodybuilder golf we will see together a little bit what it is worth through this test and above all is it very reasonable today to have a golf r on the road we will see it's right away for friends for months of making a little joke we're going to put our feet up the feet of jobs are going to talk pricing the price friends hold on tight to this model here without options your senses magny 52 thousand euros it will be necessary add to that about 5000 euros of penalty and in this nice configuration we approach to p had nearly 12,000 euros worth of options, which gives us a total of I'll let you think I'll let you calculate 50 plus 5,000 plus 12,000 if I calculate well we're almost at seventy thousand euros is that already expensive for a little gem like that 4 cylinder 320 horsepower because its internet of couples capable of precisely competing with audi s3 its cousin and other mercedes at 35 amg sailing on board is already said man a little bit what you prefer allowed these three cars me I had the chance to try know that the little surprise is that the mercedes is the cheapest of these three the most expensive is the audi s3 and between the two we have this lovely closed gaulle it is also the most powerful in the first ones we went around the owner in this rather nice configuration we are on a lapize blue lapis blue invoiced around 750 euros you should know that the golf r today is available in only three colors white black or blue it is a little bit too bad e and know that the white is free here is the little story so the outside turn we arrive on a very beautiful version at the start of so a little too wise may be for my taste on the front we could almost be mistaken to believe that it it's a golf airlines we have the little r logo as it's like its little sisters in the airlines finish we just have what they want to differentiate from the others already a chassis lowered by 20 centimeters from the big gomart of course and especially real air intakes to cool everything admire all that here until there they are real trainers ok to cool and feed all the 320 horsepower cavalry under the hood so it's true that when you start to go around in detail the small logos and racing is starting to have some doubts we say to ourselves that we still have something radical especially when we see here its 19-inch rims present in the performance pack the estoril rims with its big stirrups in hit blue of the letter r the rim s r there we begin to have a doubt we say to ourselves that we have something quite radical quite nasty so know that allah you still have large discs of large diameter with perforations on the disc is also ventilation to improve if you want endurance there will be no ceramic ceramic brake packs I told you we are on a chassis lowered by 2 cm to pose a little vehicles and above all it still has very specific things we were talking about rims but especially at the back we have a disc here ventilated at the back something that the other golf models do not have on the profile side we have this cut very specific to the golf a little square for my taste with darkened glazing at the rear and you can see it we are starting to get to the most prominent part the most radical the most demonstrative we arrive at the rear part which is clearly much more demonstrative than the front part with this big spoiler with its small the shiny black finishes there we begin to suspect that we have something quite sporty and there you see it in addition to the r logo strictly well aligned with the see the volkswagen logo you have here four exhaust outlets two series okay with this pretty diffuser or we like it or we don't like it but it's true that here it's very demonstrative and you'll see that the sound with the optional exhaust at 3600 euros akrapovic in titanium s please is absolutely incredible and almost necessary if you buy this golf is good of course you all ask yourself the question what this exhaust is worth I simply suggest you listen to this beautiful melody we will see we will judge together the sound quality of its four exhaust outlets good then we're going to talk a little option the options the options we have the r performance pack an option worth 2000 195 euros we add to that the sports yelps akrapovic exhaust in titanium please at 360 0 euros and already for the exterior pack we already have about more than 5000 6000 euros of options good month already listened to it already the tour of the exterior it's over I suggest you take the wheel right away we're going take the wheel seemed I'm going to tell you right away my feelings my feelings aboard this golf r and then we go around the interior I promise that I really like it that's for sure all golfs are the problem and it's especially when you have a lot of functionality on the buttons the ai if you see it then by mistake sometimes I can activate the heated steering wheel I can current if the radical mode which is a bit problematic on a golf r so the radical mode look if I press up play but immediately put in rolls royce so that's problematic especially when you're in town where I just want to drive quietly to make consumption records so that's the problem of all the golf courses it is very very very annoying the whole touch is cool but in small doses that's good another negative point this golf r here I'm out of stock I'm in reserve I'm looking for a gas station and it's true that you'll have to fill up often with this golf r so despite the fact that if you have an economical driving reach 600 km of autonomy that's really really if you have your foot very or even very very very very light on the accelerator but when you do 18 liters per hundred necessarily the consumption is felt on the autonomy or vice versa and so suddenly we are above all on autonomy there the close to 400 watts 350 km it's good the gas station arrives the problem is that I even have a big dilemma is that I see the truck fill up and I've always been told flo stagger never fill up when you see a tanker truck fill up the reserves problem is that there I really have no choice I'm really sorry I apologize in advance I really have no choice to refuel if not I can't p u leave so unleaded 98 obligatory good friends 52 liters of fuel volume there is a small problem since on the technical sheet it is written 50 so that means that I was really really really more than in reserve since at the base is 50 liters it's not five years from our voucher we'll see the result I didn't quite understand what happened will start the vehicle we 'll get started of course yes you have the option 5:45 p.m.
Donations I spent a lot of use in a golf course unless you make trips and you put in comfort mode we'll see all that 480 in autonomy good it's not it's not it's not madness but inevitably nothing surprising since here we are when you have a dynamic driving inevitably it is felt on the general autonomy if not 600 km of autonomy if you have a light foot on the accelerator if you put in comfort mode and you put the box echoes here well we are talking about consumption but it is true that when you have this kind of car very very nice car it's one of my favorite cars it's true that afterwards we put things into perspective a little bit about fuel consumption well I was telling you that I was consuming at about a time liters per hundred I was in sailing a bit on her since the start I was actually quite greedy in consumption and 17 or even 18 thrashing the long duration I was about 11 liters so since refueling I have done 8,121 km with it anyway it's pretty good but in fact I was browsing tell me pretty cool [ __ ] it's usually it's really great it's cool you hear browsing a little in the navigation which is not necessarily the most ergonomic the simplest and then I come across this awful horrible visual I have a golf course in my hands I still paid almost 65,000 euros or even 70 miles with the penalty and I have a vulgar excuse me owners of golf 8 in style finish I have a vulgar miniature golf 8 not even the same color of blue the track that I have outside not even the same legs it's not the right configuration and that 's still a shame a point of detail but the detail counts at this price there voice the teasing up j I like doing that the bonnet we're going to have a little bit of what's hiding under the beast hop here we go so no more at all 2 will see so I'm going to do a little bodybuilding that's all that to tell you that under the hood we simply have a 4 cylinder so we lose a bit of the nobility of the old golf cars 320 horsepower 420 newton meters of torque a 0 to 100 shot in 4 7 seconds max speed 270 km hour admire the work well done on the water from the part of the engine engineers at volkswagen gold you should know that under the hood it is the same engine as the audi s3 its little cousin except that this one at volkswagen makes 320 horsepower against 310 horsepower for the audi already advantage golf r au level of power or in terms of habitability it's not because it's a gol f r we should n't dwell on this point, listen, it's still a classic normal golf eight with the same voc capacities since we have 374 liters of cargo volume with a small floor here for the sound system and yes it 's not is not an optional emergency route of course go immediately to the interior presentation so here is the interior of this beautiful golf or eight good you will already notice the cabin is a little too sober for my taste we have these famous seats here as an option with the logo er seat with a small touch of blue as on the specific steering wheel on this r version so too bad for the small blue side in the blue for me it is more reminiscent of the hybrid or electric versions I would have rather seen red on this fairly edgy interior a few steps on a golf r and which says radical r10 says edgy and therefore whose blue is not necessarily very representative of a sports car note this sunroof the invoices here 1050 euros it will give a little more of light this austere interior good inside in terms of options we are going to have its famous seats this full leather series with the r logo at 2,1800 euros it is nappa leather with good lateral support with also perforated leather note the small detail is that the holes perforated its blue which gives a rather interesting contrast with this fake carbon in the good leather it's rather nice here the seats are electrically adjustable for the passenger is also for the driver of course which is will differentiate this version rd other golf it is yes this famous symbol which will often appear one since we still have 320 horses and therefore it will be necessary to refuel often on board in terms of consumption I wanted May 10 where I will tell you but we are around 20 liters without you having been driven very upset when you activate this famous mode the reis mode otherwise you also have the quite fun drift mode the special mode which will allow you to configure your golf 8 with little onions r for the nürburgring circuit be careful yes the gas station with the proximity don't worry you have this visual mode which will allow you to configure with small onions according to 15 levels of damping swimming it is optional to the damping that they were cc and then the same you will be able to manage the sound of the engine manage a lot of things that's pretty awesome it will be the big difference compared to the other golf gti and gtd gte and golf and eight classics here the same you have a competition specific for the r version with different views like this you also have a specific button that differentiates this golf rd from others with this r button in blue such a specific steering wheel with this little note of blue blue stitching quite well worked with a fairly thick rim and then especially this little my dishes who knew is where the little r logo is and that will be all is so it's a bit of a shame and I'm going to criticize this interior a little too plastic to my taste with a perceived quality that is quite ordinary somewhere since we are still on a volkswagen it's a shame it's a shame this little one needs carbon imitation carbon these screens with his fingerprints it's a shame and that's a general criticism to any golf 8 tell me what you prefer between the interior of a golf 8r the interior of an audi s3 or the interior of a 35 mg and personally I prefer the this time l inside the mercedes it is a box which is rather rather reactive especially on high revs with its famous palette here in plastic unfortunately but much less then more pleasant and sportier than an audi s3 or behind an audi s3 you have just small cheap plastic paddles just behind a steering wheel which are not highlighted at all here we are starting to reach another level that's pretty cool and that's what we ask for on this type of car I'm going to have one little bit level to the sound of the interior you s going to see that it's a little rarer had reworked than outside I put myself in individual to tell you that I'm going to my lesson reis I have a thousand special air displays was going to open to the ears this is how it in d1p pop mbang from 3000 five rpm that's what makes the charm of this optional akrapovic exhaust a little bit otherwise without that you're going to have an exhaust that's a little too muffled for my taste so it's up to you in everything case it's worth 3600 so small negative point already at first glance it's its turning radius and it's normal it's because we're going to ask it to gear very well we quickly get to taste one unfortunately that's the problem of all sports cars with fairly substantial tire widths since we are sure I believe of the 19 11 235 and therefore inevitably it is right that much less than a polo shirt for example let's go here we go we're going fun a little winding roads we will start with the performance s Under the hood we still have a 4-cylinder 1 2 liter tfsi of 320 horsepower that's rather a good thing 1,320 horsepower crc almost 10 additional horsepower compared to the older generations especially we at 420 newton-meters of torque we do n't not the 500 newton-meters of torque 1-2 la of the audi rs3 mai but it's better than a disaster so 0 to 100 a time very easily 4.7 small seconds we are already really absolutely mind-blowing speeds and max speed with the performance pack there are restraints and at 270 km hour yes 270 km hour in a Golf who would have believed it and 254 gold if you did not opt for the performance pack here is the engine is hot the gearbox is hot we will be able to judge a little of the dynamic qualities that one of this golf 8 r then it does not it already loses a little nobility by the old golf then the backfire so I said that it lost a little nobility this golf by compared to the first golf 3 to 6hoo other golf iv r30 from golf 5 r32 with this fam them song of the inimitable v6 years old and then there was the golf 6 r with the entry it sounds pretty good oh the cow yeah all the same and the entry into turns is incredible we have a chassis that is still quite communicative here on this configuration since we have an optional controlled damping the dcc with 15 levels of settings and there we have so all the same on it is enough on a piece of wood all the same by configuring reis configuration which allows us to have a communicative chassis a fairly precise direction so we have a little in small movements in the wind it's rather pleasant all the same enough these sportsmen that's what we ask speak more yeah all the same so what is rather pleasant is that hunting there is a good feeling there especially we have an electronic self-locking differential which allows to have a higher level of efficiency than a golf 7 r clearly there the chassis is no longer at all safe under steer like the older generations golf r traction and grace to ux vectoring torque splitters I can guarantee you that the car grips the bitumen so a good distribution of the traction torque thanks to the all-wheel drive and above all you have a distribution between the front axle and the rear axle but above all also a transverse distribution which will really but really allow you to have a chassis with small onions and above all an ultra-efficient chassis nothing to do with a golf this air it is there the difference with the golf 8 r it's bluffing oh la la la la I you incredible wow what love so the brakes are quite tough thank you the two pistons at the front and but I can guarantee you that sensation guarantee it has absolutely nothing to do with the old golf this incredible air I am at speeds I can guarantee you that you still have to hang on 1 then above all it's for real there is no need to be a pilot to drive this kind of critters it works thunder clearly I do not boxes clearly there is there is a real real real real gap is then the akrapovic exhaust I think it is recommended to take it to give this car a little more ladies because it went the effective eh and then you have this famous drift mode for those who want even more 2 fun to see yesterday that it picks up be careful you shouldn't take it as a propulsion car is far from it it's just a temporary mode in quotes to really use on road closed hero to secure rather on secure spaces but it's true that lé fun and effective it's really almost incredible I'm amazed at this golf 8 r honestly I push them it has in its last entrenchments I'm not a driver but I can guarantee you that at no time was the chassis faulted, we're going to do a little tour again , this golf 8 r is a small sensational box, I can guarantee you, so it already has the appearances , so its sound has been at the top.
Work inside it pushes at the rear it blows 320 horsepower they're there it's not counted but they're there and then the road holding frankly there aja cia goes under the bend it's clean it's clear I I'm at speeds of course on a closed road but I can guarantee you that it's really amazing and you want to take turns with taking jets also no I'm sitting super healthy good so at this little game in terms of consumption we're more on 20 25 liters per hundred moves a little from the ariège that's cool frankly it's a real thing that they do ah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that's really really nice and then to all those who want a little fire to do ecological driving with one of r2 france heymans would have to wait it takes the 7 liters per hundred it's possible but then really light foot on the accelerator and above all above all above all get into mode comfort and actively using the dsg7 echoes box, that will be the only condition tion then if not daily you will be sure of the 9 liters to the hundred or so honestly it's disconcertingly easy to take pleasure with the respect that they trigger all the same eh I'm in reis mode but the chassis makes a absolutely phenomenal work to keep the car on the road with all this data recorded in steering speed temperature traction etc etc the computer will be able to be reviewed to the nearest millisecond optimized the force the torque the power on each wheel which will allow us precisely to to have his feelings and this performance never reached 1 / on a golf r quite incredible it sounds so it's a bit faye all the same a kind of pop mbang at 3500 rpm as soon as the titanium exhaust and eschau 10 they don't had bur the special mode did not have offices platform it will perhaps make people jealous for all that we stuck the ribs sticker on their body but there you have directly integrated it into the driving modes what q ui is rather cool and fun so that's funny and then you have the reis mode which will really allow you to free this golf and 8 will know it without delivering a term years it's really nice good time to take stock this that I liked least liked on this golf 8r so we will start with the negative points is not a negative point there are a few anyway go not so perfect that some at the rite is a little too muffled but at the same time there are rear deflagrations so that's only if you don't take the akrapovic exhaust suddenly the sound will be a little too much a little too wise in montbron for a golf r which wants to be radical here so it's a bit of a war if you take the akrapovic titanium exhaust what I also liked a little less is the perceived quality on board and that's really the spirit of the new golf too many screens too many fingerprints on the screens and then it lacks it lacks soul where do you go and you have the drive selector b we it's a little beat by tonio kind of razor there's plastic it's not necessarily what we like good unfortunately last point also negative well well that we've been used to since the sixth generation that's there that's the la la the nobility of the 4-cylinder engine good a bit of a shame at the level of current standards manar it can be understood but it's a shame all the same we're going to move on to the positive point the positive points it's really its very sporty look frankly is there it really looks like golf r the front a little too wise on the other hand the rear is a demonstration of strength with its four exhaust outlets frankly I love another positive point is if you take the exit option akrapovic clearly has it I was telling you 1 it's a bit of a war behind it backfires in all directions that's a good thing in a good thing but you'll have to put your hand in your wallet to be able to have fun I like a lot so I also like the different driving modes which enhances the performance of this body a little bit so we have the comfort mode the sport mode the rain mode it's the special wall bur mode the drift mode and the individual mode which is really perfect because we can adjust to the small let's onion the car the chassis the sound the engine response the steering in short that's great because suddenly you really have a tick to have it configured as you want that's cool what I also liked is the paddles at the wheel so they are big they are not aluminum but they are already bigger than an audi s3 so that's a good thing despite the fact that it's plastic it's a bit cheap but it's a good thing new all the same in a sports car we have large pallets and finally last positive point it is also its versatility this golf r it can do everything we can set records on the circuit it can also take the small family on vacation in the mountains with its 4 wheel drive and what i'm pretty cool too it's the soundproofing side the acoustics are really well worked we have very little noise from r i even find very little rolling noise despite the 19 inch sneakers honestly it's a good positive point so that's a good thing for this latest generation of golf r here friends my side it's time to leave each other I hope it was it's aboard this pretty golf r you liked it if you liked it If so, don't hesitate to add little thumb of course, it's always a pleasure and above all, don't hesitate to tell me what you prefer between this golf r and the audi s3, its cousin, or the mercedes at 35 mg thank you in advance for giving your opinion in the comments there at the bottom of the video of course go to me I'll tell you very quickly to give your adventures in video on passion card ciao 1 and
