2023 VW Golf R 333 Limited Edition sold out in eight minutes

Last week, Volkswagen presented the most powerful VW Golf, and the company announced that all copies were sold in just eight minutes. The Golf R 333 Limited Edition is part of Volkswagen’s plan to create the ultimate Golf R, but that effort has been stalled by the Dieselgate scandal.

This is an extraordinary result if we consider that the limited edition Golf R 333 costs 76,410 euros, as well as that the powerful hatchback 20 Years Edition presented last year cost 59,995 euros, which is not cheap at all. Well done Volkswagen!

R 333 is finished in yellow with black side mirrors, has a black roof and tiles on the front fenders. It is mounted on a set of 19-inch Estoril wheels and has blue brake calipers, and is equipped with an Akrapovič quad exhaust system. It is powered by a 2.0L gasoline engine with 333 hp (245 kW) and 310 lb-ft (420 Nm) of torque. That’s enough power to push the car to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.6 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 270 km/h (168 mph).

BMW M3 Touring with 730 HP

There are many tuners who want to show and prove that they are good at their job, but there are few who can say that they are the best, and one of them is the German company G-Power. The tuner is known for upgrading BMW cars, and this time it’s the BMW M3 Touring.

First of all, G-Power equipped the BMW M3 Touring with three tuning packages, and with the most powerful of them it brings a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine with 730 hp (537 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of maximum torque. The increase in power also meant an increase in top speed, which is now more than 320 km/h (199 mph). As a reminder, the standard M3 Touring has 510 hp (375 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque, and top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h (155 mph).

In slightly weaker options, G-Power offers 630 hp (463 kW) and 680 hp (500 kW), which could definitely satisfy those with a little less adrenaline.

The car is a little closer to the ground, and is equipped with several carbon body components, as well as 20 and 21-inch reinforced Hurricane RS aluminum rims, behind which are located better brakes and adaptive suspension.

Inside, the car is equipped with a large display with a 12.3-inch instrument panel and a 14.9-inch multimedia system. Also, the volume of the trunk is from 500 to 1,500 liters, which is more than enough for families.
