Two years ago, VW announced that it would send the 2019 Golf R with a traditional painting program. Nicknamed (so to speak) “Spektrum”, it gave American Golf R buyers access to Volkswagen’s extensive list of traditional options. It’s an expensive $2,500 request, but as Volkswagen showed on Thursday, he obviously responded.
With the Golf R now on hiatus until deliveries of the new eighth generation Golf begin, Volkswagen recalls the MkVII race here in the United States. The Spektrum program was only introduced for 2019, the last year of seventh generation Golf R style. However, you bought $2500 more than a rare painting. The procedure used in Germany to produce the Spektrum series is similar to that of Audi’s traditional ordering program and, as such, VW went the extra mile to make its Spektrum consumers feel special.
“Volkswagen has an exclusive fan base among many of its models, and the Golf R is no exception, attracting one of Volkswagen’s most unwavering and non-easy legions of fans,” said Megan Closset, who manages the Golf program for VW in the United States. . States.
Upon receiving a Spektrum vehicle, the owners won handwritten notes from Closset, thanking them for participating and writing down the overall production number of the chosen colors. Among them, Viper Green obviously a fan favorite, which accounts for 17% of orders, or 33 cars, according to data published through online homeowners, bringing the total number of Spektrum games produced to less than 200. Nogaro Blue, which became popular through Audi S4 of generation B5, also a popular choice.
Since the program has created 40 colors for an already limited production style (VW sold only 4223 Golf R in 2019) and a limited participation in the program, it needless to say that many combinations have occurred in incredibly limited quantities. TNT Orange car owners said on social media that only 3 were produced for U.S. customers, for example, and that a customer in Virginia would own the only Carribean Green style sold here. According to the Facebook organization Spektrum VW, Oxide Red, Futura Yellow and Anthracite Grey have been absolutely ignored.
Yes, this means that all the other shades of silver or gray sun made to be taken through Spektrum were a cup of tea for someone. Brilliant, friendly lovers of monochrome European cars!
