Here comes the fastest road legal Golf you can buy……..if you had the money. The much talked about VW Golf TCR is set to become the fastest front-wheel-drive Golf, Volkswagen has released to date.
This VW Golf TCR’s top speed has been raised from 155mph to a supercar 162mph. The 0-100km/h acceleration is now at 5.6sec, which is 0.3sec faster than the hardcore Golf GTI Clubsport S.
The Golf TCR uses the same turbocharged 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine as the earlier Golf GTI Clubsport, with 286bhp at 5000rpm in overboost mode, when turbo boost pressure is raised from 1.9 to 2.1-bar for periods of up to 10 seconds. During that time, the engine develops 44bhp more than the standard Golf GTI’s power output with the optional performance package.
