Limited to 333 units globally, the Volkswagen Golf R 333 builds on the regular-production model with a more powerful engine, a racing-derived exhaust system, and several specific model-styling cues. You'll need to move to Germany to add one to your collection, however.
At the heart of the 333 lies a familiar 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine turbocharged to 333 pferdestärke, which is the German way of measuring horsepower. For the rest of us, that figure represents 329 horsepower, which is the same output offered by the one-year-only Golf R 20 Years unveiled in 2022. For context, the standard Golf R sold on our shores uses a 315-horsepower version of the turbo-four. The torque output stays flat at 310 pound-feet, and the engine exhales through an edition-specific Akrapovič exhaust system with titanium mufflers.
