Optionally, with the R-Performance package, the Driving Mode Selector also offers specific driving modes, such as “Drift” mode or “Special” mode for the Nürburgring-Norsdchleife.

That being said, how much does the new 2021 Volkswagen Golf R cost? Well, the German firm has announced that its compact sports car is now available with a launch price of 51,300 euros.
