About the Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR Mk7
The Golf GTI TCR was released as the final swansong for the Mk7 generation, inspired by the two-time overall winner of the international TCR racing series. It features a mechanical limited-slip differential, upgraded cooling with two extra radiators, and a more aggressive aero package including a new front splitter and rear diffuser. While it shares its engine with the Golf R, it remains front-wheel drive, offering a more focused and agile driving experience for enthusiasts. The interior is distinguished by unique microfibre upholstery and a TCR-specific steering wheel with a red 12 o'clock marker.
