Too bad it won’t make it to North America.
We see plenty of it in this spy video by Automotive Mike on YouTube. We see two test cars turning laps at the Green Hell as we camp out. The drivers are not taking it easy. The prototypes in blue and white whizz past the camera for seven minutes of tire-torting action. They look quite composed and competent. A roll cage inside the car is a great help, but it won’t be available in the production version. All indications are that this roof will be able to carry its extra weight well.
It doesn’t hurt to have a powerful turbocharged engine. Although nothing is yet confirmed, there is no reason to believe that the sports car will not share the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the standard. Golf R . It produces 315 horsepower (235kilowatts), which powers all four wheels via a seven speed dual-clutch transmission. The mighty hot hatch can reach 60 mph in just five seconds. If you don’t have any large cargo holding stations in your estate’s backside, the wagon should be almost equal.
But that’s all part of the fun of owning a fast wagon. It’s hard to find a better way to humiliate a competitor than driving your family car packed with everyday items in a sports car. Unfortunately, this VW experience is not for everyone. When the Golf R wagon is officially revealed, it will most likely be retired from European sales.
