In all its 25 years VW's Citi Golf has been re-invented more times than Madonna (it’s probably also had more facelifts than Cher) but the new R-line is the most radical Citi yet.

Incidentally, if you miss out on the limited-edition R-line, VW is planning a more sedate version - to be known as the 1.8i - later in the year.
