Tråd: Volkswagen frigiver Golf R cabriolet detaljer

261bhp flagskib vil være den hurtigste open-top Golf nogensinde produceret af VW. Volkswagen har annonceret priser og specifikationer for sin kommende VW Golf R cabriolet, den længe ventede flagskib for open-top Golf range. Den eksisterende Golf cabriolet, baseret på Mk6 lemmen, vil fortsætte sammen med den nyligt lancerede Mk7 Golf.
Den cabriolet er mekanisk svarende til Golf R hatchback, hvilket betyder, at det er drevet af en 261bhp, 2. 0-liters turboladet fire-cylindret motor. Dette gør det muligt for R at sprinte fra 0-62 mph i 6. 4sec, hjulpet af en standard-fit seks-trins dobbelt-kobling automatisk transmission. Tophastigheden er begrænset til 155mph.
R er identificerbar fra mindre Golf cabriolets gennem sin glans sort gitter med 'R' logo, krom udstødningsrør, en sort diffuser, røget bageste forlygter, en unik forreste kofanger og en lille smule af 'R' badges, herunder på bremsecalipre. Golf R cabriolet sidder 25mm lavere til vejen på 'Talladega' hjul i enten 18 eller 19 i diameter.
Elektrisk foldning klud taget kan betjenes ved hastigheder op til 18mph. Det tager 9. 5sek til at folde væk, og 11. 0sec for at blive rejst.
Inde den Golf R, er fire individuelle sportssæder trimmet i 'Wien Cool læder', mens yderligere 'R' logoer findes i nakkestøtten. Aluminium indlægninger og pedaler, sammen med kontrasterende grå hæftetråd på rattet, håndbremse og gearvælgeren, komplet interiør makeover.
Ordrer vil tages af VW for Golf R cabriolet fra foråret, med priser der starter ved 38,770.

261bhp flagship will be the fastest open-top Golf ever produced by VW. Volkswagen has announced the prices and specs for its upcoming VW Golf R cabriolet, the long-awaited flagship for the open-top Golf range. The existing Golf cabriolet, based on the Mk6 hatch, will continue alongside the recently launched Mk7 Golf.
The cabriolet is mechanically similar to the Golf R hatchback, meaning it's powered by a 261bhp, 2. 0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This enables the R to sprint from 0-62mph in 6. 4sec, aided by a standard-fit six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Top speed is limited to 155mph.
The R is identifiable from lesser Golf cabriolets through its gloss-black grille with 'R' logo, chrome tailpipes, a black diffuser, smoked rear headlights, a unique front bumper and a smattering of 'R' badges, including on the brake calipers. The Golf R cabriolet sits 25mm lower to the road on 'Talladega' wheels in either 18 or 19in diameter.
The electric folding cloth roof can be operated at speeds of up to 18mph. It takes 9. 5sec to fold away and 11. 0sec to be raised.
Inside the Golf R, four individual sports seats are trimmed in 'Vienna Cool Leather', while further 'R' logos can be found in the headrests. Aluminium inlays and pedals, alongside contrasting grey stitching on the steering wheel, handbrake and gear lever, complete the interior makeover.
Orders will be taken by VW for the Golf R cabriolet from the spring, with prices starting at 38,770.
