At the 2009 IAA, however, Volkswagen is demonstrating - using the debut of Volkswagen Golf R - that fuel consumption values could even be corrected downward in the high-end sports vehicle area. And indeed without even a hint of a compromise in dynamic performance. On the other hand. Traditionally each new R version of this design series bears the title "strongest Golf of all times." Having a power of 199 kW / 270 PS (at 6,000 rpm), the newest Volkswagen Golf R is continuing in this dynamic tradition; the prior design transferred 184 kW / 250 PS to its all-wheel generate method. The highlight here: Although the now retired Volkswagen Golf R32 processed 10.7 litres of fuel through its fuel injection system each and 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 had 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 newest product puts the 1,000-meter mark behind it in 25.4 seconds, whilst the already masterful Golf R32 shot past this mark in 26.7 seconds. The Volkswagen Golf R does this even much better using 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 is not according to some magical trick, rather oahu is the result of extremely sophisticated downsizing. Its legendary predecessor generated its energy from a displacement of 3.2 litres ("32") and six cylinders. In the new design, this is done with four cylinders and 2. litres of displacement - a extremely superior direct injection petrol motor with turbocharging (TSI). In the fuel pump and on the winding mountain road, this high-tech alliance is superior to a classic six cylinder unit with multi-point injection. Proving that even the noise of a four cylinder can leave a strong impression are the fifth and sixth generations of the VW Golf GTI, which is also powered by a four cylinder TSI. And the Volkswagen Golf R exhibits a much better "sound array."
The TSI's torque characteristic is just as amazing. By comparison: The six cylinder of the prior model developed a optimum torque of 320 Newton-meters at 2,500 rpm. And that was by now remarkably excellent. The turbo four-cylinder direct injection motor of the new Volkswagen Golf R, on the other hand, transfers 350 Newton-meters torque to the crankshaft, which is also available commencing at 2,500 rpm, but it can maintain this peak value up to 5,000 rpm. So the new automobile delivers a fascinatingly higher level of simple dynamic efficiency. 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 on the Volkswagen Golf R).
TSI of the Volkswagen Golf R
The EA113 series direct-injection petrol engine is employed ınside the new Volkswagen Golf R; its turbocharger makes it extremely flexible and variable right up into the highest overall performance ranges. The 1,984 cm3 TSI's specific strength ıs really a respectable 100.3 kW / 136.6 PS per litre displacement, and its response is just as amazing. The engine's energy may be spontaneously summoned in the blink of an eye throughout its speed variety. The motor also impressively underscores its potential acoustically. Visually too: Its two chrome tailpipes can be seen in the middle of the bumper under the diffuser integrated there - an "R trait" that the prior design also displayed.
