The top version is expected with a capacity of more than 400 hp, but without the Audi five-cylinder block.
Already this year, VW will begin selling powerful sports versions of the VW Golf 8. Among them, the one with a capacity of 333 hp. Golf R. Now there are new spy photos from the Nurburgring, as well as rumors that fill us with sadness. However, a possible R + can reassure us.
Along with the GTI and the most powerful diesel GTD, the line-up crown, the Golf R, will soon arrive in dealerships. So the top Golf adds a solid 2020 hp. to the power of his predecessor of the seventh generation.
In fact, this could only be cause for joy if rumors did not spread about Audi's 2,5-liter five-cylinder engine. Engines from the Audi TT RS, RS3 and RS Q3, of course, will blend in well with the powerful Golf, people from Volkswagen thought, and in 2017 tested the corresponding Nurburgring model.
But, according to an internal source at Audi, they did not find this idea so inspiring. The Dutch Autovisie magazine published statements according to which the brand simply refused to allow the use of its five-cylinder unit. In the end, the Golf R is a direct competitor to the Audi Sport. However, the fact that the same engine is integrated in the Donkervoort or KTM models, according to the same source, was not a problem: “This is good for the Audi image.”
Golf R + with a power of more than 400 hp
At the request of auto motor und sport, Audi declined to comment on this issue because it did not comment on rumors. But friends of the powerful Golf can enjoy the Golf R +. According to the British automobile magazine, the even more powerful Golf has now received green light from the VW board. As a power source, the two-liter four-cylinder unit in the R-configuration will be combined with a hybrid module. In the end, the Golf R + will have a system power of more than 400 hp. and will directly compete with the powerful AMG A-Class options. It can also compensate for the failure of a five-cylinder engine. It is still unclear exactly how the electrical components will be integrated. It is possible that the power of the electric drive is directed only to the rear axle. In addition, the Golf R + will receive another chassis upgrade with a widening gauge. The super-powerful Golf may hit the market in late 2023 or even in 2024 for the 50th anniversary of the Golf GTI.
The first impressions of the Golf 8 in the R-version are also conveyed by the photo, which is currently distributed on Instagram. They say that he shows a shot of the Golf R next to the Spanish training ground. Now we have frames with the Nurburgring. The rear view is not particularly aggressive, but still shows a diffuser and dual tailpipes. The front of the Golf R doesn't look so restrained. The apron shows the large ventilation holes on the left and right, where
in civilian models, fog lights are located. In addition, splitters perform well in radiator paste.
