In this article i am gonna talk about the Mk7.5 VW GOLF R (or as some call it the face lifted MK7 GOLF R),
particularly, my friend's Mk7.5 GOLF R, but before we get to that let's start with a little introduction for
those who never heard of the R model in Golfs.
Note: alot of people think that '' R-line " and '' R" are the same thing.
They're not. R-line is just a trim, it's just a normal golf with some bits and pieces in the outside and inside to make it look a little sportier, but power output is just like any other normal Golf.
In the seventh generation of the VW Golf's line up, we find normal models,
either with petrol or diesel engines or an all electric version called ''e-golf".
Then, we get to the sporty versions. We begin with the Golf GTE
which is a plug-in hybrid driven by two power sources: a 1.4-litre (148 hp) TSI direct-injection petrol engine and a (102 hp) electric motor. Together, they combine to produce power of ( 201 hp) and 350 N.m of torque.
the Golf GTE can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 7.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 215 km/h.
Then we have the GTD. It is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged common rail diesel engine
with 181 HP and a maximum torque of 380 N⋅m available
from 1,750 RPM. 0 to 100 km/h takes 7.5 seconds and top speed is 227 km/h.
Then we get to the famous GTI. I am not going to get into details but the power output varies from 217 HP to 306 HP.
I am just going to talk about the basic GTI.
It has a 2.0-litre turbocharged direct-injection petrol engine (TSI) with 217 HP and 350 N.m of torque.
It does 0-100 km/h in 6.5 seconds and goes to a top speed of 250 km/h.
Now we talk about the R. You see, all the previous models are FWD (front wheel drive), the R on the other hand is AWD (all wheel drive). It uses the fifth-generation Haldex 4MOTION four-wheel drive system. Under low loads or when coasting, the rear axle is decoupled, helping to reduce fuel consumption. Drive to the rear axle can be engaged in fractions of a second via the Haldex coupling, which is actuated by an electro-hydraulic pump. Up to 50 percent of power can be transferred to the rear axle. A brake actuated, XDS+ system mimics a limited-slip differential by applying the brakes to the wheel with the least traction, this is on both the front and rear axles.
The MK7 R's 2.0 TSI engine makes 296 HP and 380 N.m of torque from 1,800 to 5,500 RPM. 0-100 km/h takes 5.1 or 4.9 seconds with optional DSG gearbox. The top speed is electronically limited to 249 km/h.
The MK7.5 R makes 10 more HP but all the other numbers remain the same. Some esthetic changes were made as well.
My friend's MK7.5 R is a little bit special. It's been fitted with an Eventuri Intake, a new radiator, a new turbo inlet pipe, a decat, new spark plugs, APR ignition coils and a stage 2 software. Now it makes 430HP and 550N.m of torque at the wheels (as shown
in the dyno graph below) which makes it very unique in Tunisia. All the work was done by a tuning workshop in Germany.
Here's a short clip showing this car's performance. In the video i am doing a little demonstration on how to engage Launch Control.
