The originator of small steel cannon, looking back at the evolution of golf R, the era of performance cars is about to begin.

Although the living standard is getting better and better now, super-running is still a luxury, so a brand-new performance car has been derived. They have obvious advantages, strong power, moderate price and a racing heart. This is what we usually call a small steel gun. What are the classic models of small steel guns? Golf R, Mercedes A45, Fox RS, Civic? R, etc Today I will tell you about Golf R, the originator of small steel cannon!

As early as 1990, hatchbacks became popular all over Europe. At that time, because there were few Volkswagen models, engineers had a lot of rich time. The boring gods imposed a high-performance 2.8-liter six-cylinder engine on golf and added a four-wheel drive system, so the first generation of golf R was born. Since then, golf? VR6 is famous! Don't underestimate this car. With the blessing of 176 horsepower, it only takes 7.6 seconds to break a hundred times. It is the fastest public in 1992. This is the beginning of dressing up as a pig and eating a tiger!

Because the first generation made consumers deeply fall in love with this car with its strong performance and excellent performance, the second generation Golf R was listed in 2002, officially code-named Golf? R32, as the name implies, with a platform of 3.2L? VR6 naturally aspirated engine, the maximum power reached an exaggerated 240 horsepower, and it took only 6.6 seconds to break the hundred, which once again refreshed the fastest speed of Golf R, and was called the sports car pulverizer.

After three years, Golf R finally released the third generation model, which also uses 3.2L? VR6 self-priming engine, don't think this car hasn't changed. Its biggest change is the adoption of a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox for the first time, which makes the control more handy.

In 2009, it can be said that Golf R ushered in the biggest change in this year, from the initial VR6 self-priming engine to the current turbocharged engine. Since then, the high-performance version of Golf R was born, that is, from this car, let us know what a small steel gun is! The maximum power of the 2.0T engine reached an exaggerated 270 horsepower, and the breaking time was fixed at 5.8 seconds, which completely reached the level of a sports car. However, this car was officially introduced to China in 20 1 1, and we felt the fun of this car two years later than Europeans!

Four years later, on 20 15, Golf R was finally upgraded, and this time it was even more fierce, and it directly joined Volkswagen's third generation EA888? 2.0? TSI engine, with the blessing of 333 horsepower, takes only 4.5 seconds to break 100. I will ask, who else is this power? It is from this car that we know what violence is!

This year, the sixth generation of golf R arrived as scheduled, with a sharper appearance. Is the fourth generation EA888 added? 2.0TSI engine, the maximum power reached 343 horsepower, and joined the 4Motion four-wheel drive system, which broke the hundred seconds in 4.3 seconds, so I asked who else? Is it too much to call it the strongest small steel gun?

Here comes the problem. Do you think small steel cannons are practical?
