Driving every Golf R! From the original VR6 to the Golf 8 R, this is the evolution of VW's Golf R

It all began with the Vurra, the South African term of endearment for the first 6-cylinder Golf, almost 3 decades ago. Join Ciro De Siena as we assemble and drive every Golf R ever sold in South Africa.

With a lot of help from the good people at Volkswagen South Africa, we networked with a series of Golf owners to put together a dream shoot, featuring every Golf R sold in South Africa.

Missing here is the Golf MkIV R, which was never sold in South Africa, but drove the Golf MkIII, MkV, MkVI, Mk7 and Mk8 R all together on the Aldo Scribante circuit in Gqeberha earlier this year when we filmed our full review on the Golf 8 R, and performed a hot lap shootout against the Toyota GR Yaris.

Join our video journalist Ciro De Siena as he drives every Golf R back-to-back, and tries to get under the skin of what makes the Golf R so loved and respected across the globe.
