Volkswagen has unveiled the new Golf R 333 - a special limited edition version of its flagship hot hatch. The German carmaker will produce only 333 units of the new Golf R, all of which, are expected to get a bunch of upgrades, including a few exclusive exterior & interior elements, along with some mechanical changes.

The 2024 VW Golf R 333 comes with a special lime yellow metallic paint with a black roof and '333' decals on the doors and sits on a set of 19-inch black alloys. Inside, the hot hatch gets sports seats with leather upholstery, a Harmon Kardon sound system and a small plaque on the dashboard with the car's numbered designation.

The Golf R 333 is powered by the same 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo-petrol engine as the standard Golf R. However, Volkswagen has tuned the power unit to offer a higher 333 BHP, allowing the hot hatch to sprint from 0 - 100 km/h in a claimed 4.6 seconds while reaching a top speed of 270 km/h. The limited edition Golf R also comes with an Akrapovic performance exhaust as standard and semi-slick tyres. Other mechanical upgrades include drilled disc brakes and adjustable shock absorbers.
