The future is bright for fans of fast Volkswagen Golfs in the United States. Volkswagen’s board member in charge of development, Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser, has confirmed that the Golf R 400 will be sold in the U.S. if it gets the green light for production. Speaking with Motor Trend at the 2015 New York Auto Show, Neusser says, “it’ll show America how sporty the Golf can be.”
The Golf R 400 debuted in November of 2014 as a nearly production-ready concept, and was met with nods of approval from just about everyone who clapped eyes on it. A supercar in the shape of a hatchback, its apparently PCP-injected 2.0-liter EA888 four-cylinder puts down a staggering 395 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. Power goes to all four wheels through its Haldex 4Motion all-wheel-drive system and dual-clutch transmission. It also looks completely sick, and will do 0-60 in a claimed 3.9 seconds.
Considering the 2015 Golf R sold out 11 hours after it went on sale in the U.S. (with more on the way), this was a no-brainer for Volkswagen, and early indications are the R 400 will indeed get the go-ahead for a limited production run. British magazine CAR reported shortly after the concept’s debut that a production version would be unveiled at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, with deliveries starting soon after. But with a price tag north of $60,000, it won’t be cheap.
