Clearly this will never be one of the iconic Golfs, but the roof goes down and it'll do 155mph 🤷🏻♂️
It can be hard to recall a time when the VW Golf R wasn't the all-conquering, all-wheel-drive hot hatch. Maybe the Mk8 hasn't reset expectations quite like the Mk7 did, but those after pace and poise in all weathers are still very well served by the flagship Golf.
So how did VW attempt to remedy the situation? Did it add more power, modify the suspension, or maybe drop the price? Nope, none of those. To attract more interest in the Mk6 Golf R, VW made a convertible version. The first R cabrio and very likely to be the last, it launched just as the Mk7 hatch was about to arrive.
Though reviewers weren't exactly blown away by the open-top model, it wasn't without merit. One described it as more engaging than a TT RS, another praising both grip and refinement. The market for a very fast, four-seat hatch convertible will have been small, but the Golf R would probably have suited some people down to the ground.
