The eighth generation Volkswagen Golf R has just landed in Australia. European vehicle specialist Underground Performance were quick to jump on one. We’ve covered some of their previous Golf’s through their R&D phase and this car will be no different. With a bump up in power over the outgoing Mk7.5 we were keen to see what the new Mk8 AWD Golf R puts out in 100% factory stock form, and by the end of the day the team had already begun the modification process.

Stage Zero 😂
$74k AUD with no options…. ooft.
Looks like you have some competition, Moog.
Looks slick af, I love the new model!
Laughed at alex talking about the first mod he did with the tips. Alex seems like a really nice bloke.
ipad dash, gross
Theses guys know their stuff with anything VW, Audi, Skoda performance upgrades.
After driving the previous version the one thing that put me off this car is the transmission. Hesitant off the line, jerky and holding gears when just trying to cruise. For goodness sake get rid of this terrible tranny and put a torque converter in it, just like they did with the regular golf range.
Nice new fridge
Seems pretty smack bang on for qouted power, quite keen to see what a tune can accomplish once tuneable.
That engine shake thou 🤣🤘
Wonder if those twin pot front brake calipers and bigger rotors will fit mk7/7.5
Good old Alex!
Was this Remus catback the "Sport" or "Racing" version?
Hi, what is the watch on your wrist ? Thanks ! 🙂
Waaaaaa pop bang fart burp.. waaaaaaa
The new golf R's and Audi S3's look aids .
Excellent video fellas. Well done!
full boost guys lik more on engines dyno and its spec n exhaust..mcm guys do more on custom mods for street looks n basic mods..overall same mods done on both channels..
OK the Remus might be the first aftermarket exhaust I like for this car. Wish I could justify buying one
They NEEEED a AWD version
Front looks like a Corolla
Why they golf Rs don’t have bigger brakes like it’s counter parts baffles me.
where are you situated? or where you figuring from?
Not a vw fanboy however this is a very nice looking car i must say esp the exterior. Only the wheels are terrible but very beautiful car
HP number seems low to me on this Golf R. The 2022 Elantra N DCT puts down on average between 270-275whp from the factory.
Taking the shift lever away from the DSG cars was an egregiously bad decision from a driver's perspective in keeping the auto model fun to drive. I have a mk7 GTI with DSG and almost ALWAYS shift using my DSG lever. Now we can only use the plastic paddles which is no fun. The manual is too slow to shift so it's a lose, lose scenario.
I can't unsee Mr.Burns, thx for that lol
Each new version is better than the last 🙄 no shit. That's the whole point isn't it.. of course all they do is up the boost each time. It's still a weak 4 cylinder
Great vid, very interesting & well put together. Would be interesting to see a similar review/dyno runs of the Kona/i30 sedan N pls! 😀
Awesome video guys, been watching you since 2010ish, never comment but have always appreciated your videos. My favourite channel by far! Keep it up
Did this vid sneak in ahead of MCM's 8r post?! They'll be sad to find out Melbourne (logically) is always ahead of the nth!
Can I check this against the Euro models, why are the UK rolling roads recording 340+ hp / 255kw & your is only reading 200+ kw?
For the price of these, I’d just get a mint 2019/2020 RS3
201kw is 269hp doesn't make sense
Can you do a awd, fwd, and rwd power runs?
The most understanding R master 🙌
At least 800 miles of stretching and also a beefy oily tire bigger size would help the car age better and won't start squeeze noises here & there 245 45 19 will obsorb the bumps and Volkswagen need it. Continental more better than Michelin and avoid pirelli at all costs. Hankook is better than pirelli, Dunlop nit bad
But Continental oil does everything better and more comfortable even on stage 3 R
So who got the first Mk8??
Nice car for blokes with handbags
I’m sorry I drove in the new R and the interior is a massive downgrade in quality compared to the previous model the quality feels like base level Corolla. Audi S3 is the choice once they give it the same diff.
After using UGP I would never recommend them. Poor tune and after service.
Awesome video. Damn they look good
What’s the wait time for one? Haha
Overpriced hatchback.
why are they not tuneable yet?
So what power would that be at the flywheel?
You guys talking too much unforchunetly
VW German reliability, doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as Japanese Reliability 🙂
Are VW motor engineers sworn to secrecy that they can't be asked for information? It would be helpful to know the difference between current and previous motors.
Any drone from the exhaust?
