@@axelschwaiss1576 No its a narrow V with a single cylinder head, the amazing sound comes from the 3 short and 3 long intake runners and 3 short and 3 long exhaust......i miss mine...i transplanted a 3.6 R36 engine in to mine with a turbo....
Of the 30 cars I have owned my MKV R32 is the only one I miss, I extended the lease twice, only car I have kept 5 years, it made me smile every time I drove it.
My first car was a 2001 mk4 1.8t, i fell in love with the mk4's and got a special place in my heart. i wish i can someday own a r32 in the green colour i had mine in.
OOh I miss my old Golf R32, I had an upgraded haldex, suspension from ACE competition and so on. That car was so funny in the winter here in northern Sweden =)
Sometimes at Winter Times, when i miss my DBP Golf 5 R32 i go into the Garage and open the Door and turn the key on the MK4 R32 and dream from the next Summer^^
THE Golf R. The MkIV was the last of the classic Golfs. I had a GTI (1999) and boy did I love that car. It was just the perfect city companion for a young man in his early 20's. That car became part of my identity. I'd love to pick up a Golf R like this one but all the ones I'm finding online are quite beat up or high miles.
I’ll never forget the first time I sat in one at the dealership when I was a kid. That interior was the coolest thing to me. The suede headliner, amazing pedals, chunky steering wheel, the seats! And I still feel the same today. They’re timeless.
I owned a 2003 for 12 years from new before I reluctantly sold it, even so I managed to get 50% of its purchase value back at that point as well. What I will say which is pretty amazing is that a stock version of this did a 8.37s lap of the Nordschleife and bearing in mind this car is 20 years old its actually only 9% slower than the fastest modern mk8+ laps it. The engine and noise is far more satisfying as well. It would also not surprise me if the 3.2L NA V6 is far more bomb proof than the highly strung 2L modern equivalent.
Amazing driving skills and a beautiful car! I also own an MK4 R32 deep blue and did my first Nürburgring lap a few month ago. I was so excited and I think my lap time was twice as long as yours :D
those VR-6 Engines always sound great, had a friend with a corrado VR-6 'Storm' edition I drove it a few times and the sound of that V6 engine always sounded amazing
Always love that sound of the R32! I am glad that I still have mine ❤️! I wasn’t aware that the r32 had a faster steering rack. Always fun to know these fun facts 👍🏻
Somewhat different take on it but the Renault/Nissan V9X is pretty special in its own way, even if it is a diesel, as well - there is something very satisfying about a good V6.
One of my daily drivers is 2008 VW R32 which I had modified at a company called New German Performance in Virginia. Added a Turbo, tuned, new suspension and now I am adding an advanced differential. Probably near 400HP. Car only has 34,000 miles on it. I call it my smile machine as it is just a hoot to drive and that sound mixed in with the spooling turbo!
That was a lovely smooth point to point lap. Nice to see someone driving a road biased car with an obvious methodology applied to their driving. Great car, much better than it's VR6 predecessor in every department.
Holy crap isn’t this a dream-made video! I’ve been chasing one of these down in the states for years. One day! Jeez it sounds so good! Literally the first thing I did when I got my Sim rig was hop in that weird Renault Clio V6 and went for a lap of the Nordschliefe because GT sport doesn’t have the MK4 R32, lol
VR6s sound 👌! I had a 1994 Corrado VR 6 for 12 years from new. I took it to the track a number of times with only some basic mods (ie suspension, brake pads/lines/fluid, exhaust and chip, and track tires). I was able to keep up and/or pass many ‘faster’ cars. It was a joy to drive!
A very calm & composed drive. Would have been very relaxed and felt very safe in the passenger seat. With some additional advanced instruction I feel that this guy would really shine.
I owned the pulsar and it was known in certain circles as the egg , delicate because it would blow up at any moment...the gearbox was crap but excellent drive otherwise..
Yeah but the r32 got a rear bias 4x4 and you can boost that engine to like 700 with upgraded internals and it would hold. I don't know how much power the manual gearbox will take but the automatic will do 1300. For a while.
The MK4 R32 is a superb car. A bit fat and slow maybe but they handle really well and were "special" unlike the modern R. Nice to see one being used properly
I've got a 400hp turbo Mk4 R32, and this video really makes me miss the stock exhaust note. I live a mile above sea level, so I needed a little extra oomph to make up for the thin air. The turbo just takes away some of that smooth brassy note though. Even with a few bumps and bruises I still love the car almost 20 years into owning it.
I would love to see some kind of real-time telemetry from a Harry's Lap Timer or something that could display when the Haldex is actually kicking in on an old R32/ TT 3.2. When the front end washes out laterally does the Haldex respond, or mostly just if you try to put the power down on corner exit and get some wheelspin. Gotta say I never got bored heel-toe'ing my old GTI VR6 24v, even deep into 200k miles. Engine revs sounded glorious...
What a nice relaxed driving style. I wonder how stock the chassis is? He’s certainly well acquainted with the green hell. Thanks for sharing the whole lap with us :)
mk4 r32 weight: 1477kg mk4 tdi weight: 1205kg (FWD model) so the weight difference is pretty much just the slightly bigger block, the brakes and the awd system
It has to be said : The MK4 R32 is the *only* Golf out of ALL Golfs ever created that really sounds great. NO other Golf, including the GTIs, comes even close to this wonderful sound. And i think it is also the best looking of the entire series. Especially the back has an iconic style.
I own a MK4 V5 20v . That's not bad either. Especially in the higher rev range, and the pops when down shifting. The r32 is awesome off course, a modern classic.
@@robertaugustijn1157 I have to agree and correct myself a bit. 5 Cylinder Engines definitely sound great too. No doubt about that. Congrats on that V5.
why I love my vr6.. sound makes it all. And who says they are slow or shit at cornering based on internet trash talk, I'll take you around to see how much fun it can be.
Hi Misha... Wow that R32 VW sounds freakin AWWsome! It's no slouch either, she BOOGIES on the track! I love yor video content bro, it really appeals to us workin class dudes with family & bill's to pay etc..LOVE Ya Work! 💕 BTW great to see Subscribers increasing on your Vlog channel. Good stuff bro..👍😀👍 Godbless hava gday 🙂
I mean what a perfect late afternoon ride. Smooth 6-cil sound, smooth driving, sun going down, fall scenery, almost no talking. Love it
It was relaxing and invigorating at the same moment.
lovely
I've never driven one of those but given the awkward configuration that thing is probably not smooth!
@@SoulTouchMusic93 they’re incredibly smooth
Just hoping the price of r32 don go up in five years
Who cares if this isn't the fastest lap. It's such a smooth lap and soothing sound.
Who verify the lap times to make sure they correct just curious is it the same company that did the ssc tuatara run
Legit so much fun I’m sure. Indeed satisfying passing each car along with that exhaust note 💥
This was the last of the truly classic looking golfs imo.
Because it was just like 3rd gen and V gen stepped far away in modern styling. So there is hardly any argument to be made
@@cyjanek7818 The 6th Golf looks really classy tho
Classic looking good styling YES.. but very heavy to drive
To me the mk5 was the last, maybe mk6. After that quality went downhill fast
@@JMNTN mk6 good quality? Forgot about all the tsi engines that drink oil like a russian drinks wodka?
The symphony of the VR6 is amazing
I think the R32 is a normal v6?

This guy is a nice smooth driver, that wookie was purring 🖤
Best part of my day is when I seat quietly in my home at night, watching Misha's videos at the nurburgring.
The exhaust sounds like two trombones playing in unison. :)

It's so easy to push these into understeer. The driver did a fantastic job keeping everything smooth!

I found that out when I replaced mine and couldn’t find one for 6 months lol
What a nice chilled lap. The thing looks and sounds sick.
This VR6 and the Alfa Romeo Busso are the best V6s ever made.
Nissan 350z sounds also cool

He wouldn't mind a trade ;-)
I think if you trade in the gt2 rs and put some cash on top he may agree to trade it 😂😂
Just get a tt, there's plenty of them with the vr6.

Very nice drive, smooth with no drama.
Sounded like tires giving up at end.
Impressive car and driver did great at showing it's performance ! My love to all at Apex Taxi !
if a lap at the ring could be considered relaxing this was it. great video...
I loved my 2004 R32 and miss it to this day. In my opinion VW's best sounding engine.
This guy knows how to drive. 9:30 smooth as.
This makes me love my 3-door Mk5 R32 even more. Similar (or the same) blue too.

mk4 tdi weight: 1205kg (FWD model)
so the weight difference is pretty much just the slightly bigger block, the brakes and the awd system
The tdi feels a lot lighter
250kg is quite a lot of difference. Although it's a lot more powerful, that's quite some penalty.
