VW Golf 8 R

The latest addition to our range of project vehicles is the VW Golf 8 R. It shines in the matt black style of Max Kruse Racing and the typical red Eibach diamond. The standard 320 hp (235 kW) Project R thus builds a bridge to the successful VW Golf TCR racing car, which professional racing driver & Eibach brand ambassador Benny Leuchter drives in the Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS). As a contrast to the rather dark vehicle design, the shiny silver Rotiform LAS-R rims in 19 inches are a real eye-catcher and, together with the Hankook ventus S1 evo³ tyres in the dimension 235/35ZR19, promise excellent handling at high speeds and optimum grip in the wet. The height- and performance-adjustable Pro-Street-Multi coilover suspension has been installed for even faster lap times. Long-standing partner RaceChip is also on board again, giving the Wolfsburg a performance boost to around 378 hp (278 kW) with the "GTS Black" chip tuning.

There is plenty more to discover about the Eibach Golf R on our social media and YouTube channels.
