Finally! First real-life Autobahn acceleration / Launch Control test with the all-new 2020 / 2021 VW Golf 8 R (MK8) powered by the range topping 2.0 TSI delivering 320 hp & 420 Nm of torque (total weight: 1551 kg).

Of course this car is AWD but it also features a tricky torque vectoring system at the real-axle which not only enables the “Drift Mode” but also seems to have a positive effect on traction in Launch Control mode! But please watch yourself and tell me your thoughts? Follow us also on Facebook!
