The Volkswagen R32’s 250 horsepower is starting to look a little tired. However, VW will soon bring the Golf R20 to America.
The Volkswagen R32’s 250 horsepower is starting to look a little tired. However, VW will soon bring the Golf R20 to America.
The new R20 will have Volkswagen’s 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, which will produce 270 horsepower. This is not the R32. The R20 should be able to reach a top speed of electronically limited 155 mph and a 0-60 time of just five seconds.
Exterior styling will be similar to the GTI, but with more aggressive front and back ends and a center-mounted dual exhaust. The R20 will initially be available in a three-door hatchback, but it is possible to offer a five-door version down the line.
The new Volkswagen Golf R20 will be officially unveiled at the ADAC 24-hour race at Germany’s Nurburgring circuit racing circuit. European sales will begin later in the year.
