It is precisely such limited and high-performance vehicles that turbocharge the Volkswagen R brand.

The Cult Status of the New Limited Edition Golf R 333: Turbocharging the Volkswagen R Brand.

In the world of high-performance vehicles, there are some models that transcend the realm of ordinary cars and achieve cult status. The Volkswagen Golf R is undeniably one such vehicle, and now, Volkswagen R is taking it a step further with the introduction of the limited edition Golf R333. With only 333 units available, this special edition is set to make waves in the automotive industry and capture the hearts of enthusiasts around the world.

Based on the already impressive Golf R Performance, the Golf R333 packs a serious punch with an output of 333 PS (245 kW). But it’s not just about raw power. Volkswagen R has equipped this limited edition with a host of high-quality features to ensure unrivaled driving stability and traction. The R-Performance Torque Vectoring, including Vehicle Dynamics Manager, takes control to another level, distributing power not only between the front and rear axles but also between the two rear wheels. This results in an exceptional level of sportiness, particularly when taking corners. Additionally, the Golf R333 comes with the Drift and Special driving profiles, designed specifically for the Nürburgring racetrack, allowing for an exhilarating driving experience even away from public roads.

To emphasize its motorsports character, the Golf R333 boasts a number of eye-catching design elements. The striking Lime Yellow Metallic paintwork is sure to turn heads, while black accents further enhance the special-edition model’s appearance. The inclusion of the R Performance exhaust system from Akrapovič, featuring titanium rear silencers, and the black 19-inch Estoril wheel rims with semi-slick tires add to the overall aesthetic appeal.

But it’s not just about looks. The Golf R333 is the most powerful Golf ever produced, delivering an impressive torque of 420 newton meters. The optimized engine tuning ensures lightning-fast responses, with the turbocharger constantly preloaded to maintain a constant speed during partial-load driving. This results in quicker power development for rapid acceleration. The open throttle valve in overrun phases further enhances dynamics and performance on the road, allowing for faster engine torque buildup and improved responsiveness. With an acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds, the Golf R333 Limited Edition sets a new benchmark in its class, outperforming key competitors.

In addition to its performance capabilities, the Golf R333 Limited Edition comes with a range of premium features. The Nappa leather sport seats with integrated head restraints provide both comfort and style. The IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights, included as standard, ensure optimal visibility on the road. State-of-the-art driver assist systems, such as Travel Assist, Lane Assist, Emergency Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with stop & go function, are included in the IQ.DRIVE package. The Golf R333 also features a center airbag, a rearview camera system, and a Harman Kardon audio system with 8+1 loudspeakers and 480 W total output, delivering an immersive sound experience.

Since its inception in 2002, the Golf R has captured the hearts of enthusiasts worldwide, with over 250,000 orders placed for this best-selling model from Volkswagen R. The Golf R333 Limited Edition holds significant importance for the brand. Peter Jost, Head of Marketing & Sales at Volkswagen R, explains, “It is precisely such limited and high-performance vehicles that turbocharge the Volkswagen R brand – a genuine eye-catcher and extremely attractive. Every customer can be sure that they have an extremely rare vehicle and a potential collector’s item in their garage.”

For those lucky enough to secure one of the 333 units, the Golf R333 Limited Edition is available for order at German dealerships, with prices starting at 76,410 euros. Production is scheduled to begin in September at the Wolfsburg factory, ensuring that the first models can be delivered to customers in October. To celebrate the exclusivity of this limited edition, Volkswagen R has planned a special customer event at the Autostadt for all buyers who choose to pick up their Golf R333 Limited Edition in Wolfsburg.
