Software Release
The MK7 VW Golf R is the latest in the line of VW hot hatches and the fastest Golf to date. With a fantastic mix of an all new 296bhp engine and the latest generation Haldex 4-wheel drive system, even in standard trim it’s a force to be reckoned with. But what happens when you combine Revo Stage1 Performance software with an E888 Gen 3 2.0TSI motor? 0-60 in just 3.7 seconds is what!
Stage 1 comes as a result of months of development, rigorous testing plus real world performance evaluation on our own development vehicles. A Stage 2 program is in development and due for release alongside supporting hardware. Revo performance software can be flashed directly to the MK7 Golf R through the OBD2 socket with no need for ECU removal.
Stage 1 is designed to work in harmony with an otherwise totally standard car to give gains to 365BHP and 354FT/LB of torque, up from the standard 296BHP and 280FT/LB.
Our test vehicles have clocked repeatable 0-60 MPH times of 3.7 seconds along with a 0-100MPH times of just 9 seconds using Racelogic GPS performance equipment. Car tested on private test track, on road legal tyres on Shell vPower.
An impressive improvement over the manfacturer quoted times of 4.9 seconds to 60MPH and 12.3 to 100MPH for the DSG equipped test mule.
Revo Performance Software puts the Golf MK7 R into supercar rival territory - outpacing cars including the Audi R8 V10 (3.9-seconds 0-60mph) and the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 (3.7-seconds 0-60mph).
Fast Facts
• +69BHP and +74FT/LB from Stage 1
• Better drivability and increased performance
• Flashed via the OBD port, no need for ECU removal
SA additional note:
• TD1 (No Info available at this time) a car will need to be flashed with REVO and then back to stock, taken to a VW dealer in stock trim to see if affected. We will test this theory as soon as our development car arrives.
