GTI fans rejoice, The GTI TCR is on its way!
Starting manufacture in the Wolfsburg plant during the first week of June 2020, 300 units have been ordered for South Africa and should begin arriving in late July.
The global pandemic has put something of a damper on production and delivery of the full allotment of TCR vehicles may not arrive.
This is going to drive up demand for this special edition, much like we saw with the ClubSport model. The TCR is also the last of the Golf models we will see produced before new production begins in 2021 on the in-coming Golf 8.
The TCR will come with a 2.0 TSI engine and 6 speed DSG transmission and will produce 213kW / 380Nm and have a 264km/h top speed, due to the limiter being removed.
You will also get 19 ' Reifnitz alloy wheels, Dynamic chassis control, 3 new colours, Active info Display, Driving mode selection, park assist and VW's We Connect Go, as well a host of bespoke exterior and interior fitment.
Due to the limited nature of the TCR, each vehicle will get a specific number added to the badge on the rear and an official ownership certificate.
The TCR comes in with recommended retail price of R669 000 and comes with VW’s 3 Year / 120 000km warranty and 5 year / 90 000km service plan.
