Golf R and Scirocco R roll out for ordering
28 Oct 09
1353-09
The Golf R 2.0 TSI 270PS 4Motion and Scirocco R 2.0 TSI 265PS 2WD open for ordering on Friday 30 October. As we expect production volumes for 2010 to be approximately 500 cars, these cars will only be available for sold customer orders.
Ordering process
There is a new ordering process for the new R models. By ensuring production allocation is assigned to retailers that have signed customer orders we will minimise delivery delays.
* Fax a copy of the signed customer order to 01908 489575. Orders received without a customer signature will NOT be processed
* The allocations are available in line with your Golf Mk6 and Scirocco quotas
* We will contact each Retailer within 48 hours with the commission number(s) by telephone
*
To ensure the fairest and most equitable process, the first two weeks’ orders will be collated before being placed with the Factory. You will not be contacted until after the initial two-week period. We will then confirm if your order has been successfully placed. Please manage your customers' expectations accordingly
* Each Retailer then has a 48 hour period to check (and query) the specification
Initial launch cars have been ordered and will be allocated shortly. Current production forecasts indicate that the first customer deliveries will be able to take place from March 2010. Please make sure customers are aware of the long lead times for these vehicles.
The UK test drive of the Scirocco R has already occured and there will be reports in the press from early November. The Golf R UK test drives are scheduled to occur in late November and we expect the reports to appear in the press from early January 2010.

The new R models have higher levels of specification than those found on the previous range-topping models, the Golf GTI and Scirocco GT. This includes:
* 18-inch Talladega alloy wheels
* Bi-xenon headlights
* LED daytime running lights
* Unmistakable R-model bumpers and side skirts
Inside, the R models have distinctive Piano Black and Silver Lane inserts, with contrast stitching and eye-catching Kyalami cloth upholstery, putting the cabins in a different league to those of their competitors.

For an even more premium feel, optional leather upholstery is expected to be popular on both models, and Recaro part-leather sports seats can be specified on the Golf R.

Customers can opt for 19-inch Talladega alloys on both models.
These can also be ordered in black on the Golf R.
Where 19-inch alloys (either black or silver) are ordered on Golf, they will also be fitted with black headlight surrounds.
