Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet

The R Cabriolet is the fastest soft-top Golf ever built.

Despite the fact that the new mk7 hatch is already on sale, this is the last shot for the mk6. However it's not the first time that Volkswagen has sold the convertible version of the Golf with its previous generation body and interior.

The new Golf R Cabriolet features a 261bhp 2.0-litre petrol turbo capable of a 0-62mph sprint in 6.4 seconds. This new version is a front wheel drive only opposed to the four-wheel drive Golf R hatchback and, due to necessary body strengthening, it's 94kg heavier.

The Golf R is a very capable and an awesome looking car but the £38,770 price tag is a steep £8,000 more than the Golf R hatchback. Furthermore it's also £1,000 more expensive than an entry-level Porsche Boxster which is one of the best sports cars on the road. MG
