Thanks to a teaser sketch released by the manufacturer, we can get to see a hint of the car’s styling.

“We are starting this extensive electrification campaign with Volkswagen’s best-selling vehicle to date – the Golf”
VW will launch a whole host of ‘extreme’ new performance models under it’s R brand.
The Golf R will now be on the same level as the Ford Focus RS.
2.0-litre engine has been boosted from 310 horses to a potent 400 hp.
A harder-hitting version of the Volkswagen Polo GTI could easily be produced.
Powering the hatch is a turbocharge 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine producing 268 hp (200 kw) and 400 Nm of torque.
2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine developing 350 hp.
Let’s hope some aftermarket kit creator comes up with something as radical as this for the road car.
Personally I think it would get too close to Golf territory and it would canablise that admired hot hatch.
