Golf R 3-door

Want to up the level of your Golf R purchase? Well, you’ll need to act fast because Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) have brought in just 10 units of the 3-door Golf R, all in Lapiz Blue. At RM268,888 (before reg), it’s RM10,000 less than the 5-door variant. Let us remind you that the 5-door version does not look very much different from a regular Golf.

Other than less doors (which in this case, is a good thing!), the 3-door Golf R does not come with keyless lock and keyless start. Or power-adjustable driver’s seat (all things we'd rather have, but in powahhhh we trust).

It does come with the same 290ps and 380Nm of power from the turbocharged 2.0TSi engine and 7-speed wet clutch DSG. It’s all-wheel drive too, of course.

Mr Erik Winter, Managing Director of VPCM said that the Golf R is one of the most desirable Volkswagen models of all time, and the availability of the 3-door Golf R should have fans excited. “This truly is an opportunity for enthusiasts to be part of something special, as the 3-door Golf R is a rare beast here in Malaysia. With such a cult following, we are confident that all 10 units will be sold very quickly,“ he said.

The man’s probably not wrong there.
