2014 - [Volkswagen] Golf R400 Concept

The latest Golf R production model was introduced with 221 kW / 300 PS of power and all-wheel drive.
It handles the sprint to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds and attains a top speed of 250 km/h (governed) -
this is the sharpest production Golf ever and one of the most agile sports cars in its class.
But the potential of the Golf - which made its debut exactly 40 years ago and developed into one of the
world's most successful cars - enables even further extensions to the limits of what is feasible in sporty performance.
Volkswagen is demonstrating at Auto China 2014 just how far these limits can (currently) be extended in the world
premiere of the Golf R 400 concept car.
Its name reflects its mission. It is a Golf developed by Volkswagen R GmbH - the brand's sports car manufacturer.
400 stands for 400 PS (294 kW). The powerful engine with the genes of the WRC racing version propels the Golf
to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds.
Its top speed, assuming that a German motorway or race course is available: 280 km/h (governed).

The Golf R 400, including its all-wheel drive system, weighs just 1,420 kg thanks to its compact high-performance engine
(2.0 TSI), lightweight dual-clutch gearbox and low body weight. Its weight-to-power ratio is a dominant 3.55 kg per PS.
The permanent all-wheel drive system by Volkswagen - 4MOTION - is also one of the most fuel-efficient systems of its kind.
In addition, the Golf is also exceptionally aerodynamic, as the R 400 as well.
Perfection in details runs through the entire concept of the Golf R 400 - from the engine to the largely new body design.
This extreme Golf is painted in "Silver Flake"; creating a contrast to this light metallic colour are the car's glossy "Black"
roof and mirror caps in genuine carbon. Also designed in painted carbon effect are the splitters (wrap-around aerodynamic parts)
adapted from motorsport and genuine carbon accents in the interior.
