Remember the Golf R400 concept from 2014? What about the R420 that was rumored to be the subsequent production version? Dieselgate happened and Volkswagen pulled the plug on the ultimate Golf R. In 2022, the peeps from Wolfsburg did launch a more potent version of their hot hatch by introducing the "20 Years Edition" to mark two decades of R-badged cars. Missed out on buying the car? A follow-up is coming.
VW R took to YouTube to release a sneak preview of a very yellow Golf R 333 Limited Edition ahead of its official debut scheduled to take place on May 31. The "333" likely refers to the engine's Pferdestärke (PS) output, which would perfectly match the aforementioned "20 Years Edition." If our assumption is correct, this will be another Golf R with 328 horsepower (245 kilowatts), making it the beefiest of them all. As for torque, we're expecting 309 pound-feet (420 Newton-meters) to echo the preceding special edition.
