Volkswagen Australia Announces Wolfsburg Edition Golf R Models

  • Highly-anticipated, first-ever Golf R Wagon to be offered in limited numbers as Wolfsburg Edition model
  • Golf R hatch Wolfsburg Edition also offered in limited numbers concurrently with the existing Golf R model
  • Named after the home of Volkswagen, Wolfsburg Edition Golf R models offer exclusive features and enhanced specification over standard Golf R

Sydney – Volkswagen Australia is pleased to announce the impending arrival of the limited run Wolfsburg Edition Golf R models, which also introduces the hotly anticipated Golf R Wagon, available solely in Wolfsburg Edition specification.

The Wolfsburg name is as synonymous with Volkswagen as the very first Beetle that was produced in the German town these special edition models are named after. Wolfsburg is the home of Volkswagen’s global operations, and the iconic ‘wolf and castle’ emblem that adorns the Golf R and Golf R Wagon Wolfsburg Edition cars is a tribute to the ancestral roots of the Volkswagen brand.

Adding a unique, higher specification over the standard Golf R hatch, the Golf R and Golf R Wagon Wolfsburg Edition models include a number of key distinguishing features. Key specification highlights include:

  • Choice of three exterior colours including the exclusive Oryx White Pearl
  • Carbon Nappa leather appointed upholstery with individually heated front seats
  • Black Pretoria 19” alloy wheels (4)
  • Black door mirror covers
  • Black roof rails (Wagon)
  • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
  • Front Assist with City Emergency Brake (City EB)
  • Proactive occupant protection system
  • Blind Spot Monitor with rear traffic alert
  • Wolfsburg crest badge

The comprehensive equipment package adds a retail price premium of just $1,750 to the Golf R series model, arriving at a recommended retail price of $56,990. At $58,990, the Golf R Wagon Wolfsburg Edition carries a $2,000 wagon premium.

With such a high level of standard specification, the only option available is a panoramic electric glass sunroof, at RRP $1,850.

Both models offer excellent value and unparalleled exclusivity; especially in the case of the Golf R Wagon, which is currently only available in limited numbers as the Wolfsburg Edition for Australian customers.

Both of these limited-run models will feature the outstanding performance credentials of the Golf R’s 206kW TSI engine and 4Motion all-wheel-drive.

The Golf R and Golf R Wagon Wolfsburg Edition models are available for customers to order now from Volkswagen Australia’s dealer network.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

T-Prime Makes World Premiere at Beijing

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it. With the new T-Prime Concept GTE that was revealed today, the company is showing off all of the technology you can look for in its coming models. The T-Prime is a full-size hybrid SUV that can go up to 31 miles on a charge and gets 87 mpg. The hybrid power station is good for 375 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque and puts the power down with 4MOTION all wheel drive. It’ll get you up to 60 in six seconds. The concept’s real party piece, though, is its interior, which features exclusively touch, gesture, and voice controls. Everything from the infotainment, to the display, and even the gears are controlled by touch-screen. The T-Prime Concept GTE is bigger than the Touareg, and design elements are likely to find their way into all of their SUVs, of which there will be many. Volkswagen is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Audi Teases the e-tron’s Headlights Ahead of LA Reveal

Audi will unveil its new electric car, the e-tron GT, in just a few short days, but until then, it will do what manufacturers can’t help but do and will tease it mercilessly. The latest teaser images first appeared on Germany’s Bild , and feature some of the EV’s lighting. While the taillights look reasonably familiar, albeit on an interesting, angular surface, the headlights feature a heretofore unseen light shape. The X-shape (or maybe an R-shape, from the right angle) in the middle of the e-tron GT’s headlights set it apart from the rest of the lineup, even the e-tron SUV (whose lights look R8-ish with their angular check-shaped top line.) #Sneak Peek: the #Audi #etron GT concept – stay tuned for the big #world #premiere on November 28. pic.twitter.com/NIg0z6bIwR — AUDI AG (@Audi_Press) November 25, 2018 The long and low sedan will be based on the same platform as the Porsche Taycan, which is said to hit 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and whose batteries will all be stowed...
