At the 2009 IAA, nonetheless, Volkswagen is demonstrating - with the debut of Volkswagen Golf R - that fuel consumption values can also be corrected downward ınside the high-end sports vehicle area. And indeed with out even a hint of a compromise in dynamic performance. On the contrary. Traditionally every new R version of this model series bears the title "strongest Golf of all times." Having a strength of 199 kW / 270 PS (at 6,000 rpm), the brand new Volkswagen Golf R is continuing in this dynamic tradition; the prior design transferred 184 kW / 250 PS to its all-wheel drive system. The highlight here: Whilst the now retired Volkswagen Golf R32 processed 10.7 litres of fuel through its fuel injection method every 100 kilometres, on the new Volkswagen Golf R the figure is just 8.5 litres - 2.2 litres or 21 percent much less! CO2 emissions have been reduced from 255 to 199 g/km. Like all R models, this one was also conceptualised by Volkswagen Individual.
About the previous design, the stopwatch stopped at 6.5 seconds. The brand new design puts the 1,000-meter mark behind it in 25.4 seconds, while the by now masterful Golf R32 shot past this mark in 26.7 seconds. The Volkswagen Golf R does this even far better with all the optional DSG gearbox, sprinting to 100 km/h in a sensational 5.5 seconds and requiring just 8.4 litres petrol per 100 kilometres (equivalent to 195 g/km CO2) on the fuel pump.
The enormous efficiency gain of the new Golf R ısn't based on some magical trick, rather it is the result of very advanced downsizing. Its legendary predecessor generated its strength from a displacement of 3.2 litres ("32") and six cylinders. In the newest product, that is done with four cylinders and 2. litres of displacement - a extremely sophisticated direct injection petrol motor with turbocharging (TSI). In the fuel pump and about the winding mountain road, this high-tech alliance is superior to some classic six cylinder unit with multi-point injection. Proving that even the sound of a four cylinder can leave a strong impression are the fifth and sixth generations of the VW Golf GTI, which powered by a four cylinder TSI. And also the Volkswagen Golf R exhibits a much greater "sound variety."
The TSI's torque characteristic is equally as impressive. By comparison: The six cylinder of the prior product developed a highest torque of 320 Newton-meters at 2,500 rpm. And that was by now remarkably good. The turbo four-cylinder direct injection motor of the new Volkswagen Golf R, alternatively, transfers 350 Newton-meters torque towards the crankshaft, also is obtainable commencing at 2,500 rpm, but it can maintain this peak value up to 5,000 rpm. So the brand new car delivers a fascinatingly substantial level of fundamental dynamic overall performance. The Volkswagen Golf R32 and Golf R are really only equal in one discipline; they both have a best speed of 250 km/h (electronically limited for the Volkswagen Golf R).
TSI of the Volkswagen Golf R
The EA113 series direct-injection petrol engine is employed in the new Volkswagen Golf R; its turbocharger makes it really flexible and variable right up into the highest performance ranges. The 1,984 cm3 TSI's certain energy can be a respectable 100.3 kW / 136.6 PS per litre displacement, and its response is just as amazing. The engine's power may be spontaneously summoned within the blink of an eye throughout its speed variety. The motor also impressively underscores its potential acoustically. Visually as well: Its two chrome tailpipes is seen at the centre of the bumper under the diffuser integrated there - an "R trait" that the earlier product also displayed.
