Apparently there is a strict hierarchy in the Volkswagen Group, which is what VW does not allows access to the Five-cylinder engine to have from Audi. Audi probably wants to avoid the bread-and-butter brand VW getting too much on the sports models of the premium brand from Ingolstadt, which is why it has so far been the case no standard Golf with the Five-cylinder turbo gasoline engine who does his job in the Audi RS3. Surprisingly, however, has the Spanish group brand Cupra Access to the five-cylinder engine from Audi, as recently the Cupra Formentor VZ5 saw the light of day, which is only to be built 7.000 times. The limited Cupra model also uses an Audi five-cylinder turbo gasoline engine 390 PS performance, and is therefore the first vehicle that not carries the four rings on the bonnet, but uses the legendary five-cylinder turbo from Audi. But even VW Golf fans who are longingly waiting for a five-cylinder turbo in the Golf R will be thanks to the boys and girls from mtr performance not disappointed.

Unspectacular golf with a subtle look!

With his khaki Outer ones, and the black ones 20-inch Alus does the Golf 7,5Ras it is officially called after the facelift, subtly tuned and absolutely harmonious. At the stern became a black one diffuser built in, which of a Double pipe exhaust system is flanked by Akrapovic. The standard four-pipe exhaust system had to give way. Of the roof spoiler has remained a series, but the Taillights were tinted, and the VW emblem has been blackened.

There were also the Break calipers painted yellowto create a nice contrast to the black rims. We are of the opinion that an extremely potent daily driver can be created out of the R, which has on the highway not just sports car drivers should bring tears to my eyes. But of course we will go into this in more detail in the following section. But it is also clear that this Golf scores with a stylish and professional appearance at every tuning meeting.

Of course, under the hood of the Golf R, nothing is as it was originally. Because it became a Engine swap carried out, whereby the 2-liter turbo gasoline engine with four cylinders flew out of the bow, and through one Turbo petrol engine with five cylinders (VW EA855 evo) from Audi was replaced. And, of course, a lot of work was done on the five-cylinder, because the performance data are splendid. More than 700 PS and over 800 Newton meters maximum torque (since 05.2021 with about 800 PS -> For more information, see below) make the Golf a real one Sleeperthat puts so many supercars in the shade on the highway or the quarter mile. Unfortunately, we have no information about the acceleration values ​​or the maximum speed that we can pass on to you. All we know is that the four-wheel drive monster has a DSG transmission disposes. However, the key data should be at the level of HGP Golf 7 R3.6 L Bi-Turbo .

Our conclusion on the VW Golf 700R with five-cylinder:

A real one Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, that nasty Golf that one of its tuners Engine change including a full Performance cure got missed.

the Golf R Mk7.5 now has +800 hp

Update 05.2021: Now there has even been an upgrade to over 800 horses. The 2,5-liter unit (DAZA code) from Ingolstadt is so harmoniously installed in the vehicle that for us this vehicle is one of the cleanest and most impressive conversions ever. By the way, the owners and tuners come from the Netherlands (Instagram: gry_r800). The team from SAR-Turbotechnik is responsible for the engine replacement and the TTE700 kit comes from The Turbo Engineers. MTR-Performance donated the software and the end result is a Golf R that now delivers over 800 hp and 800 Newton meters of torque.
