JAKARTA - Volkswagen released the name of the car from the golf model that will be available in the limited edition, Volkswagen Golf R 333 Limited Edition. Reporting from Autocar, Thursday, May 4, Volkswagen released the name of the car via video uploads on the German manufacturer's official YouTube account. In the video, it is shown that the hot hatch has a bright yellow color, the Akrapovic exhaust, a set of crossed-Driled brakes, a 19-inch black Estoril rim, and a "333" badge embedded in the car. Of course, VW Golf R 333 has several components that are the same as its predecessor, Golf R Mk7.5 which consists of the Akrapovic recognition system, as well as an updated suspension. The component package can increase the highest speed of the hatchback from which speeds are limited to 249 km/h, can be increased to 267 km/hour. It also increases the performance of the disc brake and tuning the car's shock absorber pads. The high-performance hatchback is likely to continue the tradition of Golf R which has been present and lasted for 20 years as a high-performance Golf model. With an 'EA888' engine consisting of four 2.0 liters of turbocharged cylinders, Golf R 333 can produce 323 dk of power, which is greater than the old golf R. With this machine, the hatchback can go from 0-100 km/h within 4.7 seconds. Golf R 333 will be introduced on May 31.
