The original Volkswagen Golf was launched in 1974 but it wasn't until 1985 during the Mk2 era that the first all-wheel-drive version went on sale as the Golf Syncro. A more adventurous Country derivative with a lifted suspension and other rugged bits arrived in 1989. Only 7,735 cars were built by Steyr-Daimler-Puch in Austria, and this new custom build based on the current Golf R aims to revive the spirit of the Golf Country.
Previewed by off-road specialist Delta4x4, the hot hatch wants to go where no other Golf R has gone before. The lift kit raises the AWD hot hatch by 80 millimeters (3.14 inches) and is combined with custom 18-inch wheels wrapped around in all-terrain tires. The aftermarket package also contains a roof rack for added practicality along with five extra PIAA lights mounted on the hood.
