Volkswagen Golf R Engines and Transmissions

The Volkswagen Golf R engine is a turbocharged 2.0-litre gasoline unit, seen here in the 2.0 DSG Estate 5-door with a robotic dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive. That drivetrain shuffles torque between the axles, so traction stays reliable in rain, cold or quick cornering.
