VW Golf R20T to receive 2.0L biturbo with 300hp - AWD Golf R45 with 340hp on the way

Now that the crisis is almost over, VW is flooding the market with rumors of increasingly ridiculous cars in their lineup. Nothing will make the stockholders happy and the shares go up like the "news" of more expensive and useless cars being in production...

Wait, so won't the RS3, TT-RS and the Golf R45 all recieve the same engine? Now it all depends on which is cheapest....

So a golf R32 was a 3.2 litre ,then a R45 is a 4.5 litre?

What ever comes out of all this is a going to be a sure winner anyway and will definitely be priced at a more reasonable figure than the others...power-train will definitely be better with more improved fuel efficiency and road handling...need i say more...just bring the R's i say and we'll all be happy as larry, well, me anyway so am looking forward to it :)

R25 I guess...

If Vw wants to put a 5 cylinder in it why not the 3.0 V6 TFSI from audi, it has about the same power. By the way it sounds very nice in an audi S5

Well, does any of these cars excite you? No matter how fast or powerfull they are, they all look the same, cubical like a piece of soap and boring, not mentioning the interiors.

Kudos to VWAG for selling the same car with different names over and over again. Engineering at work? Sorry...This is called 'marketing'.

Finally..... It seems that VW is getting the formula right with this one. Call it whatever you want, but if they are going to be keeping up with the likes of the Ford focus RS and the Renault Megane Sport etc, then they will need to keep in this direction and just follow through.

please, please, please build this!!!

Honestly, I don't believe these news. 2.0 TSI 300 hp and 2.5 TSI 390 hp for VW and not for Audi? Not to mention that these figures are not engineering anymore, but rather tuning.

Just do it VW. Just do it.

Just build it...and i will come :)

Not sure I like VW having a better performing car than Audi. Since its the basically the same company wouldnt they rather have a lower VW at a cheaper price and premium Audi at a more expensive price? I dont get the point

Yeah 300hp from a 2.0 litre twin-turbo? Come on... you telling me the Ford Focus RS engineers were forced into the 2.5 litre V5 purely for the exhaust note? I doubt it... you'd need to utilise the 2.5 litre Audi engine to push this figure and over. Frankly, you're starting to look at so much money spent on a hatchback - a VW Golf - if utilising the TT-RS engine - that I reckon it'd be seriously niche. People can rant about 'fantastic' it'll be 'till the cows come home - and it will - but the fact is VW needs to sell cars. What with massive price increases recently, a Focus RS is already pushing it @ 25,000 GBP, new Golf not too far behind. Cost on the Golf R45? I eagerly await the news.

Don't get me wrong though... it's obvious most cars will roll out with turbo's in future, and when you have one, why not make it two... ie. BMW 135i and now the R20... all sounds great and true progression: decent power, efficient engine, low emissions... makes complete sense.
