The Volkswagen Golf R Mk8 produces 320 PS.
Volkswagen launched the eighth-generation Golf R in 2020 with a 2.0-litre turbocharged EA888 four-cylinder petrol engine. Its output was rated at 235 kW, or 320 PS, with maximum torque of 420 Nm. That power was sent through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system in the main launch specification.
The Mk8 R also introduced a torque-vectoring rear differential integrated into its updated all-wheel-drive system. Volkswagen quoted a 0–100 km/h time of 4.7 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h. An optional R-Performance package raised the limit to 270 km/h and added modes including Special and Drift.
The most likely confusion is the later Mk8.5 facelift. That updated Golf R received a power increase to 333 PS, while special editions such as the Golf R 20 Years also used different outputs. For the original Mk8 Golf R, however, 320 PS is the canonical figure.
