VW Golf R on HRE Wheels

For about $35,000, you could buy yourself a Mitsubishi Evo X and drive around the corner really really fast, thinking that you’re some sort of Finnish person with a rally driving license. But you’re not, and the car is noisy and plasticy.

However, there’s a rival you never thought of before. It’s got all-wheel drive and a four-cylinder turbo engine, but one which has been tuned to make a sweet sound through chromed exhausts. It’s also got leather Recaro seats and a front end with heritage. It’s the Golf R.

It’s VW’s idea of performance with a dash of luxury, and also a prime target of the aftermarket industry. This one has been fitted with a custom set of P44SC wheels finished in Satin Silver and forged by the guys at HRE. Check it out in the gallery below, and tell us what you think.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
