The Volkswagen MK6 Golf R was the first turbocharged hot hatch to carry VW’s renowned “R” badge. Its timeless design and engaging driving dynamics make it a favourite among enthusiasts seeking the perfect blend of performance and everyday usability. SB are thrilled to offer this example, a well-preserved and meticulously maintained example of Volkswagen’s potent and sure-footed hot hatch, finished in the striking Rising Blue metallic.

Beneath the bonnet sits the EA113 engine from the MK5 Golf, chosen for its impressive tuning potential. In the MK6 R, it received a reinforced block, a new cylinder head, uprated pistons and conrods, and high-pressure fuel injectors. Additionally, a new turbocharger running at 1.2 bar, paired with a more efficient intercooler, helps manage the increased thermal load making this engine an excellent platform for further performance enhancements.

Speaking of tuning, this is no ordinary Golf R. Enter R-Tech, renowned for their expertise with the TFSI/TSI platform. Equipped with a Stage 2+ remap and supporting hardware, this powerhouse delivers an exhilarating 370bhp and 390lb-ft of torque, channelled through a manual transmission to all four wheels via VW’s Haldex system. To handle the significant power gains, the car benefits from several performance upgrades but not limited to, a VWR 6-Pot Big Brake Kit with braided lines and RBF660 fluid, H&R lowering springs, Vibra-Tech engine, gearbox and subframe mounts and a SuperPro Anti-Lift Kit for improved stability and cornering precision. The exterior modifications further elevate its presence, featuring a Rex-Super-Sport carbon bonnet and wings, Supernova rear lights with sequential indicators, and striking 19” BBS CH-R wheels - making it a true head-turner.
