Volkswagen Golf 8 R DSG 320 HP *DRIFT MODE & LAUNCH CONTROL* POV Rainy Test Drive by Fanatic Drivers

The new Volkswagen Golf 8R is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged direct-injection petrol engine (TSI) producing 320 horsepower and 420 Nm of torque which is an increase of 20 horsepower and 40 Nm of torque when compared to the Golf 7R. The car is offered with either the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox globally or the six-speed manual (US and Canadian markets only) in both the hatch and estate body styles. The Golf 8R is 20 mm lower than the standard Golf, and has a stiffer suspension incorporating an aluminium front subframe. The all-wheel-drive system has been updated and benefits from a torque-vectoring rear differential. Dynamic Chassis Control has also been updated to work with the Vehicle Dynamics Manager, allowing for a Drift Mode function. The exterior features quad exhaust tips and 19-inch wheels, while the interior is similar to the GTI, and has Nappa leather bucket seats as well as several R badges and an R-specific driver's display.

Good video, man, but next time hide your speed. Some people are watching videos like that and reporting to the police and others. I let you know just for you to avoid problems

[@FanaticDrivers]

Thank you for being concerned! That’s the reason why we don’t show the license plate of the car and don’t show the face of the driver. No worries!

[@peterbennpan7288]

Can you do launch control in drift mode?

[@FanaticDrivers]

Yes, it’s possible. However, I believe the car will automatically change to 4x4 mode and not deliver all the power just to the rear wheels.

Finaly someone not afraid ro drive it like its designed to do!so many reviewers too scared to drift it

[@FanaticDrivers]

Hahahaha, Volkswagen didn’t put the drift option just as decoration there! However, don’t forget that not every Golf R has the drift mode. It is an extra option. Feel free to subscribe if you enjoyed this video!

@@FanaticDrivers Unfortunately Performance Pack which contains Drift mode (amongst others) has not been an option for a while now. I purchased Golf R recently and didn't have the option to spec it.
