Volkswagen allocated 500 copies of the limited-edition Golf R to the Canadian market in 2012. For 2013, only 250 will be available.

Based on the five-door GTI, this ''Super Golf'' with all-wheel drive boasts a 256-horsepower, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and a 6-speed manual gearbox. It stands out with exclusive 18" Talladega wheels, high-performance brakes, a lowered sport suspension, and a full body kit (aggressive front fascia, side skirts and rear diffuser).

Inside, look for leather-wrapped sport seats, colour-keyed trim items, and a RNS 510 touchscreen navigation system.

The 2013 Volkswagen Golf R is priced at $39,675, just like the outgoing model. Stay tuned for a release date because it will sell out in no time!
