Performance Package quietly revealed in Geneva

Amongst all the supercars, wagons, and SUVs on display at the Geneva Motor Show, VW quietly introduced a hot new addition to its lineup. The Golf R Performance, pictured here in yellow, is the hottest hatch in the VW lineup, and comes with a few extra features that you might not find on the standard hatchback.

As first noted by Piston Heads, the Golf R Performance was seen wearing a new Akrapovic exhaust system and Pirelli Trofeo R tires – the same tires that can be found on the Huracan Performante. It also reportedly comes with a “new shock absorber adjustment,” which may offer a range of ride height settings.

Other upgrades to the package include 17-inch brakes, and a new top speed of 166 miles per hour (267 kilometers per hour). VW says in the first teaser that the Performance package is "even rawer, even less compromising, even more strong-willed."

Visually, the car gets a few upgrades like a new air curtain on the front fascia, better airstream guidance on the side sills, and a new motorsport-inspired rear diffuser. New wheels and piano black trim fitments finish off the package.

What’s not clear is whether the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine under the hood will get a bump in power. After an update, it now sends 310 horsepower (231 kilowatts) and 295 pound-feet (400 Newton-meters) of torque to the wheels via a six-speed manual or an optional six-speed DSG automatic, and returns a 0 to 62 mph (100 kmh) time of just 4.6 seconds.

No word in pricing or availability just yet, but with the standard Golf R hatchback starting at €40,675 with manual gearbox in Germany, and €44,800 with an automatic, expect the Performance package to be a step up from that.

17" brakes!!

Re: 2017 Golf R facelift

I know lots of sources say the R has 17inch brakes, but I'm not sure how 17inch(432mm) brakes fit under 19inch wheels. According to Stoptech, Brembo, and Wilwood the minimum size for a 15inch(380mm) rotor is 19inch. I guess VW is probably just trying to make things sound impressive again, probably including the distance of the brake caliper lmao. Kinda sick with VWs marketing propagandas these days. Akrapovic exhaust is cool, and yes I think the car has bags now. Would still get a Clubsport S GTI over a Golf R Performance anyday if i lived in Europe.

Oh my! All those colour choices indeed! I'd be all over a special paint job if I was in the market for one.
