Golf R - four new versions coming
« on: March 17, 2011, 06:45:46 pm »


Golf R in exclusive paints and two-tone leather

The Golf R versions in the exclusive "Oryx White" and "Carbon Steel Grey" exterior colours – with coordinated high-end Nappa leather interiors – interpret the top model in an especially exclusive way.

"Oryx White" is a sophisticated, pearl-effect paint. The vehicle rides on 19-inch Talladega wheels, a visual branding symbol of the most powerful production Golf ever. Inside, an elaborately upgraded seat system gives the Golf R its unique flair – this seat system was derived from Volkswagen R’s Exclusive programme. Volkswagen R GmbH has colour-coordinated the centre panels of the front sport seats and the rear bench seat with the car’s exterior by using a light-coloured "St. Tropez" Nappa leather; this colour is also used in the door inserts. Lateral seat supports in perforated leather give the seat and seatback an especially sporty elegance. The Nappa leather surface is black, and the perforation creates an exciting contrast to the underlying "St. Tropez" colour. This light colour is also applied to the seams of the door inserts, shift lever and parking brake lever boots and borders of the black floor mats. The car has brushed aluminium trim inserts and displays the R logo on the passenger’s side.

The second version of the Golf R is painted in the exclusive exterior colour "Carbon Steel Grey." All interior detailing in "St. Tropez" colour in the white version is now executed in the sophisticated dark "Almandine Red" colour here. This creates an especially attractive interplay of colours around the perforated Nappa leather. This version also has 19-inch wheels and aluminium trim strips.

Golf R in motorsport look with carbon accents
The Golf R being presented in a separate lounge sports an exterior that captivates with its special "Space Grey" (mid-tone grey) colour, polished 19-inch "Talladega" alloy wheels, orange brake calipers and carbon mirror caps.

Inside is where this Golf R really picks up speed: the driver and front passenger are treated to motorsport shell seats with ideal ergonomics. They are upholstered in black Nappa leather; around the lateral seat supports toward the inside, as well as in the head section, the seating surfaces consist of anthracite-coloured Nappa leather ("Light Anthracite"). The cross-stitched centre panels of the seats and seatbacks are an even lighter grey (Nappa leather in "Pure Grey"). The back shell glistens in black piano paint. A refined contrast is formed by the piping on the side panels of the seat surface and the head section: the orange of the brake calipers is repeated here.

The car’s interior accents match the look of the door mirror shells: carbon. The same material is also used for the steering wheel, gear shift lever, inserts of the leather-trimmed sport steering wheel and the door sill plates. Black piano paint, on the other hand, is used on door panels behind the interior door handles, on electric window switch panels and the panel around the shift lever.

The second vehicle is painted in the high-end "Aplomb Blue." Its 19-inch "Glendale" wheels are "Brilliant Silver." As on the Golf R "Space Grey", the door mirror caps, various interior accents and door sill plates are produced in carbon fibre. The shell seatbacks of the newly sculpted motorsport seats also utilise this extremely lightweight and high-strength material in certain areas. Elegant, black Nappa leather adorns the outer sections of the seat surfaces and backs. The crest of the seats – a wrap-around stripe on the lateral seat supports and seatbacks – is designed in blue leather. Meanwhile, the leather-trimmed sport steering wheel has inner segments and hand grips consisting of what is referred to as carbon leather; it has a characteristic webbed structure of lightweight and precious carbon material. Even the floor mats have a carbon look. Their decorative seams are blue as are the seams around the parking brake lever.

Some nice stuff, getting a bit more like the German options now with their massive array of options.

Daren't ask how much you could possibly spend on one now though...  :laugh:

Some say there's too many silver/grey cars around but the space grey photos really hit the spot!

Plus, like the seats in the White one but over time will look grubby when the leather creases and dirt gets in.
