Social media has been a buzz on Thursday when South Africa made headlines in Europe for some exciting news.



The arrival of the new Golf 8 is getting very real!



The recently-unveiled Golf 8 made its global debut only a month ago in a world premiere event that was live-streamed globally from Wolfsburg, Germany.

UK's popular car news site, Auto Express broke the news of the new Golf 8 R being spotted locally after picking up the post on social media tweeted by SA's Caleb Schroëter.



Schroëter says the image was sent to him a friend in Uitenhage, home of SA's VW plant.
