Volkswagen South Africa afforded Cars.co.za an exclusive test drive of the all-new Mk8 Golf R and here is one of three videos we made while we had the car.

The Cars.co.za video team including race-ace Ashley Oldfield travelled to Gqeberha, which very much feels like the Volkswagen Capital of South Africa.

The new Golf 8 R has been significantly delayed in launching in our market. Volkswagen SA tells us they are facing major supply issues, with many woes caused by the war in Ukraine.

As such, the price of the Golf 8 R has not been revealed, and even though the Golf R media launch is taking place today, Monday 3 October 2022, the retail launch has unfortunately been pushed back to March 2023.

So, what is the price of the Golf R in South Africa? Well, we wish you could tell you, but it's like VW SA hasn't even settled on a price, given the volatility of world exchange rates and shipping issues. But as soon as we know, we'll share it with you.

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this detailed and thorough review of the new Golf 8 R on local South African soil.
