23 -> Most important, the Volkswagen Golf R
is 18% more fuel efficient.
29.839 -> There's also a lot of new horses
in the 2-liter TSI engine.
34.096 -> Clever Volkswagen gets 296 hp
out of a 2-liter engine.
38.568 -> Mercedes gets 355 hp out of it,
but these are good values.
46.116 -> 280 ft lb of torque,
available at 1,800 rpm.
51.172 -> That's good. It takes up well,
though there is a bit of a turbo gap.
57.163 -> Once in a while.
59.1 -> It doesn't matter if you're on ice.
Let me demonstrate its power.
64.531 -> You may wonder what's
the use of a Golf R.
68.5 -> I was very enthusiastic about
the Golf GTI Performance.
72.201 -> It has a mechanical differential lock
on the front wheels. Remember?
77.405 -> Else you'll have to watch
that video again.
79.619 -> A diff lock helps under
these circumstances,
84.27 -> but AWD is better,
because these things happened.
89.045 -> You'll be driving this way but
have to look out of that window.
99.533 -> Of course, 4motion: a haldex system
from the new (5th) generation.
107.206 -> The system detects wheelspin
before it happens.
111.692 -> It then directs power
to the rear wheels.
114.579 -> That means you can get
it sideways pretty well.
118.059 -> No complete countersteer, but
there's a big drift angle.
123.122 -> Under these circumstances.
125.2 -> That's nice.
131.765 -> The performance without snow and ice
is 0-62 mph in 4.9 secs for the DSG.
139.5 -> It has 6 gears.
The manual is a bit slower.
158.5 -> Us humans aren't as efficient
in changing gears.
163.082 -> The DSG has 2 clutches, so
it has the next gear ready.
169.445 -> Most buyers go for the DSG;
it's the direction this market takes.
174.874 -> A manual is fun, though.
177.861 -> Have I told you how fast the manual
goes from 0-62 mph? 5.1 secs.
181.553 -> The top speed is limited to 155 mph.
184.904 -> It's crazy that you have a 155 mph
limit on a Golf.
190.445 -> The design is cool.
Volkswagen does that well.
195.907 -> They've been consistent
these past years,
199.07 -> so there's LED lights, cool bumpers,
cool wheels, and it's lower than a GTI.
206.432 -> The Golf GTI is 0.6 inches lower
than the regular Golf.
209.9 -> The Golf R is 0.8 inches lower,
2 cm for the whiz-kids.
217.395 -> When opting for the Dynamic Chassis
Control, you'll get an extra mode: Race.
224.502 -> There's Eco, Comfort and Sport, but
Race makes it sharper and more hardcore.
240.595 -> The sound is synthetic, but it sounds
like a Subaru 4-cylinder boxer.
247.096 -> It sounds great.
254.02 -> Listen to that.
258.791 -> It's genius. Really genius.
I have to go that way, right?
272.63 -> There's only a few
disadvantages to this car.
275.787 -> You probably don't have a frozen
lake in your backyard.
279.54 -> And 2: the price.
282.088 -> 47,890 euros for the manual, the DSG
is a bit more expensive. +2,500 euros.
289.795 -> That's a lot of money, more than a
Golf GTI, but you get 69 hp extra.
310.393 -> Subs - Maru
