The wait is over! The refreshed Mk8 Golf R was released in early 2022, and once we all got over haptic buttons and sunroof gestures it became apparent how good the updates that actually matter are. Along with the refreshed interior, the updated drivetrain provides great potential for performance enthusiasts like ourselves. We’ve seen excitement from enthusiasts and are excited ourselves about the capabilities the Mk8 has to offer. And now, we are \excited jump into the party with Accessport tuning! Compared to the previous Mk7/7.5, this new generation Mk8 makes more power and torque, but it feels lackluster in stock form. This is because the Mk8 is very refined and elegant directly delivered from Volkswagen. That’s where we come in with the Accessport, included Off The Shelf Maps. You’ll be able to reflash our performance tune to your car in the driveway and be on your way with a big smile on your face.
