If VW does bring the 333 Limited Edition to the USA, it would surely have to increase its output to justify the ‘333’ badge. Bear in mind that the standard EA888 engine in the Golf R produces 315 hp, already enough for a 0-60 mph time of close to four seconds thanks to the grippy all-wheel-drive system.
The teaser shows various flashes of the 333 Limited Edition, including a black strip on the lower doors with the ‘333’ proudly incorporated into it. There are also black mirror caps and wheels, which contrast nicely with the golden paintwork that looks much more exciting than the Pure White, Deep Black Pearl, and Lapiz Blue options of the regular R. Adding another visual pop to its appearance are blue brake calipers.
We can also see that the 333 Limited Edition comes with the upgraded Akrapovic exhaust system present on Europe’s 20 Years Edition but disappointingly absent from America’s Golf R 20th Anniversary Edition.
