Volkswagen has reportedly confirmed its intention to put the amazing Golf R 400 concept into production.
Speaking to Car & Driver, Volkswagen’s Head of Research and Development, Heinz-Jakob Neusser said the 294kW (400 PS) uber Golf is headed for the production line.
No words yet on when it will be launched, but don’t be surprised it comes sooner rather than later. If and when it hits the market, the Golf R 400 will have the most powerful turbocharged 4-cylinder under the bonnet of any production car, eclipsing even the mind-blowing Mercedes A45 AMG, which puts out 260kW of power and 450Nm of torque.
Its EA888 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder will churn out a monstrous 294kW and 450Nm, enabling the hot hatch to rocket from 0-100km/h in a mere 3.9 seconds, 0.7 seconds faster than the A45 AMG.
