In September 2005, the Mk5 R32 went on sale in Europe. The new R32 became the most powerful and fastest production Golf to date.  It followed the successful formula laid down by the previous R32, and, in doing so, established itself at the top of the Golf range, above the already highly acclaimed GTI.  

It features an updated 3.2-litre VR6 engine of that fitted to the previous Mk4 version, with an extra 10 PS due to a reworked inlet manifold. Maximum power is now 250 PS at 6300 rpm; torque is unchanged at 320 N⋅m. It reaches an electronically governed top speed of 250 km/h. Going from 0 to 100 km/h will take 6.5 s, reduced to 6.2 s with the Direct-Shift Gearbox.

The R32 is available in three and five-door guises, with a choice of six-speed manual or DSG automatic transmission.  Volkswagen’s innovative DSG gearbox combines the convenience of an automatic with the efficiency and driving qualities of a manual. Compared with the previous Mk4 R32, it is 0.1 seconds faster for the manual version, while the newer R32 is about 40 kg heavier.

As with the previous R32; there is the Haldex Traction-based 4motion part-time four-wheel drive, now through 18" Zolder 20-spoke alloy wheels. Stopping the R32 comes in the form of blue-painted brake calipers with 345 mm discs at the front and 310 mm disks at the rear.

The Mk5 R32 was released in the US in August 2007 with a limited production run of 5000. Each R32 has its production number laser etched on its steering wheel.
