VW Golf R Performance Pack

O, THERE HASN’T BEEN A MIX-UP AT THE printers. This isn’t the same Lapiz Blue Mk8 Golf R that we reviewed in evo 284, although you’d be entirely forgiven for failing to spot the difference between then and now. The reason for there being another R in the pages of Driven is that there was one key option missing from that first example to join VW’s press fleet, and that was the R Performance Pack, which amongst its features promises some new software called ‘Drift Mode’. Hmm.
