Volkswagen R has been exciting its global community of fans with the Volkswagen brand’s most sporty and emotional models ever since. Volkswagen R has just delivered its 250,000th R model to a customer in Zurich. The special customer, Flavio Zwahlen, bought the current Golf R, the most powerful and dynamic series Golf of all times. Equipped with 320 PS, four-wheel drive and R-Performance torque vectoring, the Golf R impresses customers with its driving dynamics and look. The jubilee model is actually Flavio Zwahlen’s second Golf R. “It is the perfect car for me thanks to its inconspicuous sportiness, first-class interior and incredible sound. With the help of the 4MOTION drive system, the Golf R is also ideal for the mountains.” Peter Jost, the Head of Marketing and Sales for the Volkswagen R, said it was hardly a coincidence that the 250,000th R jubilee model was sold to a customer in Switzerland: “Switzerland is a very important market for Volkswagen R – also because of the country’s high affinity for performance and four-wheel drive. The R models are really popular here.” In addition to the Golf R32 and the other Golf R generations, Volkswagen R developed and made the models Passat R36, Touareg R50, Scirocco R and Golf R convertible. The R brand and its vehicle models fascinate their customers and are currently making a major financial contribution to VW’s transition to e-mobility.

T-Roc, Tiguan, Passat, Arteon, etc.). This version mainly powers the front wheels. If the electronics system notices a loss of traction, it immediately activates the rear wheels as well. This happens so quickly and smoothly that you tend not to notice how the all-wheel drive is improving the driving experience. Because only the front wheels are powered when conditions are good, these vehicles are also very economical. The third generation of the Touareg is also equipped with permanent all-wheel drive (4MOTION) as standard. The all-wheel drive is coupled with an 8-gear automatic gearbox (gear shift by “Shift by Wire”, gear display in the handle and on the instruments). A centre differential lock with asymmetric dynamic torque distribution acts as a transfer box for the flow of forces between the front and rear axle. A maximum of 70 per cent of the drive force reaches the front axle and up to 80 per cent reaches the rear axle. 4MOTION Active Control – individual driving profiles for every type of terrain The Touareg and the all-wheel drive versions of the T-Roc, Tiguan and Tiguan Allspace also offer drivers the chance to activate individual driving profiles – depending on the terrain. They can do so with ease using the rotary and pressure switch for the 4MOTION Active Control located behind the gear knob. This multifunctional and intuitive switch controls the all-wheel drive functions and, with them, the respective driving profiles. The driver uses it to activate four higher-level profiles and different pop-up menus. If drivers turn the round switch to the left, they access two road profiles in the form of Street and Snow.
