Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

Volkswagen announced the special edition in 2023, based on the Golf R Performance, with 10 PS more than the standard car. Orders opened in German dealerships on 2 June, with deliveries from October. Goodwood quotes a German price of about 76,410 euros.
