Just how quick is the Mk8 Volkswagen Golf R? It’s faster than every other hot hatch we’ve driven around the Florida International Rally & Motorsport Park–including the Honda Civic Type R and Hyundai Veloster N.
Watch our track test and then be sure to check out the rest …
i'm curious to know can it handle a 20+ min session? what about a whole day of 20 min sessions? does it manage heat effectively?
In reply to ClearWaterMS :
Here I am a year and a half later to say "those are good questions."
We've seen some of its competitors overwhelm an intercooler, pull timing, and overheat differential(s), so those are valid questions.
I am surprised to hear that the brakes are on par or slightly better than the CTR's, though it's very close.
I also wonder if the tire information could be provided in future videos? I know it's whatever the manufacturer provided, but some manufacturers like VW provide UHP and all seasons for the same model (like my 2019 GTI).
With that info, I can go back to the CTR video and see for myself if the tires played a major role or not.
