I have only one explanation for this and that is-

The VW golf r is one of VW's most premium models and is very very rare... hence it keeps its value.

The Audi on the other hand is built of a base Audi and is one of its lowest models plus its considered an entry level luxury car which adds to that depreciation...

...all things considered and the options on the cars, I have no idea why anyone would choose the VW (even if new) over a 2yr old CPO Audi.
