Hey Guys
As a Golf MK3 Convertible Driver, I should scream "YAI!". Finally a new Golf Convertible. Finally available as a more sporty R version. But wait. The Price?
Huh, the Price. Sexy 43,325 Euros for a Car without a proper top? But a R-Badge. At least!
Available from Spring this Year the, for THIS price already built-in, 2.0 litre turbo TSI will produce up to 195 kW / 265 PS, limited at 250 km/h / 155 mph.
I mean, for a sprint from 0-100 km/h / 0-60 mph it takes 6.4 seconds, and it's already incluuuuded in the Prize! *Imagine now the Theatrical movement of a Face-lifted Teleshopping PRO Seller*
Just to mention what's also included, up from the Factory (!):
6-speed dual clutch gearbox (DSG) (wow, wow, wow!), electrohydraulically-operated soft top - 9 seconds to open, 11 to close - while driving up to 30 km/h / 19 mph (Amazing. No, really!), 18-inch alloy wheels (the REAL Target Group would chance them to 21+", but hey, they can afford the Car. So just one WOW.), 133.6 PS per litre displacement (Yummy!), Ride height is 25 mm lower (Shawty got low, low, low, low, ...) and a few more nice Things.
Okay. I think you got what I wanted to say, but I haven't dared myself yet ... But now, while having a look at my loyal Golf 3 Convertible, I just have say it:
DUDES, THAT PRICE IS SICK!
I can't wait to know WHO the target group of this should be!But now some space to built yourself an own opinion, the key aspects of the Golf R Cabriolet in alphabetical order:
