Thank you for providing us all with the Autocar acceleration figures for the 2021 Volkswagen Golf R, Fastest laps and Hoppelmoppel123.
You might just make 2 corrections if you wish.
The 0-60 mph from Autocar is 4.4 and not 3.9.
And the top speed is limited to 155 mph.
But I know there are other folk discovering other figures.
However I thank you both for your efforts keeping us all happy.
Safe driving from flt158.

Ah yes.
Thank you for replying to me, Fastest Laps.
I have subsequently discovered the website's calamity.
Hope all is okay now. Thumbs up!
Of course, because of the Level 5 coronavirus restrictions and possibly Brexit, there is no sign of Autocar these last few weeks in Ireland. And that is yet another calamity!

Hello, Fastest Laps and Hoppelmoppel123. I don't know what happened to my previous message. It just disappeared.
But I have discovered that Autocar has published an 8 page road test of the very latest 2021 Golf R in the current magazine 14th April 2021. Could you please provide the performance figures? Especially as Autocar is unavailable in Ireland.
Thank you very much.
Safe driving from FLT 158.

Your previous message disappeared because there was major server crash and I had to restore everything from backup.

I'm not big fan of uncertified videos.... But this one is interesting. 290 on speedo, 276 on GPS.
However this is one is equipped with Performance package

Hello, Fastest Laps and Hoppelmoppel123. My mistake!
I'm sorry about the confusion. It appears Autocar did a rating on some new VW Golfs as is shown below by Hoppelmoppel123. They didn't give the Gold R a full 8 page road test at all as they promised from the week before. The Autocar magazine is having great difficulties arriving over here in Ireland.
Apologies once again!
And thank you for sorting everything out, gentlemen.
flt 158.
