Colored bright yellow and sporting a horsepower rating of 325-plus, a special \u201climited\u201d edition of Volkwagen\u2019s super-hatch, now named the “Golf R<\/a> 333,” is loaded for previewing on YouTube ahead of a full VW<\/a> reveal on May 31.<\/p>\n

The video presented ahead of the reveal offers a look at what to expect at the end of month, including a fancy Akrapovic four-pipe exhaust, a set of cross-drilled brakes<\/a>, black Estoril alloy wheels, ‘333’ badging and an exterior paint color<\/a> unavailable on the current Golf R.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Golf R 333 will likely replace the Golf R 20 Years, Volkswagen<\/a>\u2019s most powerful production Golf<\/a> to date, which is propelled by the venerable turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder ‘EA888’ engine. According to a preview in Autocar<\/em><\/a>, the 333 package increases the hot hatch\u2019s top speed from an electronically limited 155 mph to 166 mph.\u00a0<\/p>\n

No indication yet about which global markets will receive the car, which is likely due next year.<\/p>\n

The current on-sale Golf R in the U.S. \u2014 in very limited supply \u2014 includes the 20th anniversary edition, with 315 horsepower and a starting price of $45,390.<\/p>\n
