Volkswagen Unveils Golf R Black Edition II

Volkswagen Japan has officially launched the Golf R Black Edition II, a highly awaited limited edition that follows the first Golf R Black Edition, which was limited to 403 units in 2025. This new model, with a total of only 500 units available nationwide, builds on the excitement generated by its predecessor.

This latest version introduces an exclusive body color, Dolfin Gray Metallic, which was the most requested color among participants at last year’s 'Thrilling R' event. In addition to this new color, the Golf R Black Edition II also features the signature Lapiz Blue Metallic, further highlighting the sporty character of the R models.

Striking Exterior Design

The exterior has been meticulously designed to maximize its presence on the road. The blacked-out elements, including the mirror housings, headlight decor, brake calipers, front and rear emblems, and lightweight forged wheels (Warmenau), contribute to a sleek and aggressive appearance. Furthermore, the model comes equipped with a larger black two-tone rear spoiler that enhances downforce, providing improved stability and cornering capabilities at high speeds.

Incorporating the Akrapovič titanium exhaust system, a hallmark of high-performance models, the Golf R Black Edition II delivers a distinctive and invigorating exhaust note that intensifies depending on the accelerator input. This enhancement not only aids in weight reduction but also elevates the overall driving experience for enthusiasts.

Enhanced Performance Features

A performance package comes standard in this limited edition, allowing for a higher top speed of 270 km/h, an increase of 20 km/h compared to the previous model. Additional driving profiles, including 'Drift' and 'Special', have been introduced to maximize the R model's capabilities based on the driving situation.

Inside, luxurious carbon decorative panels adorn the interior, creating a sporty yet refined ambiance. A new microfleece multi-function steering wheel, a first for the R model, improves grip and adds a touch of quality to the driving experience.

Despite the added features and enhancements, the price of the Golf R Black Edition II remains consistent with that of its predecessor, making it a compelling option for those looking for both value and performance in a limited edition vehicle.

Special Features Include:

• - Exclusive Black Decoration for the exterior (including mirror housings, front light embellishments, R brake calipers, and Warmenau 19-inch forged wheels)
• - Akrapovič titanium exhaust system
• - Large black two-tone rear spoiler
