Talk about a serial continuing extreme Volkswagen Golf R400 started immediately after the premiere last year, but after a couple of posts about problems with robotic box hatch and, actually, about the upcoming issue gradually decayed. Now our British colleagues in the CAR managed to get confirmation of the release from the head of the Development Department of transmissions for VW Heinz-Jakob Nojssera.
Most likely product R400 will be released later this year. With even more powerful concept — if last year's newcomer Beijing motor show could boast of only 400 forces and 450 nm, moment, something new should get a whopping 420 forces all of the same two Turbo fours. And become the most powerful hot hètčem in the world (However, four hundred would be enough too — today the title belongs to 367-strong Audi RS3, obstavivšej Merc A 45 AMG c 360 HP).
All-wheel drive, of course, will remain, but the hiluû 6-speed DSG concept course substitute. The 10-speed and more enduring.
If all goes according to plan, the wild Golf will arrive at Frankfurt Motor Show in autumn, whereas the sales will begin in early 2016. Price tag projected corresponding about 50 evrotysâč on the home market, where the Golf R will have to pay almost € 40 000.
