    Volkswagen's hot new Golf - the R20 instead of the R32

    Volkswagen will unveil the sporty 2010 Golf R20 hatchback at its home country motor show which is now underway in Frankfurt, Germany.

    This spirited little hatchback - to be called the Golf R in Europe - packs a punch with a 2.0-litre, 265 bhp turbocharged engine, which will give the car an estimated 0-100kph acceleration time of about six seconds.

    The small yet powerful four-cylinder engine will be mated to either a six-speed manual or a dual clutch automatic transmission, with the latter being the faster thanks to its quick gearshifts.

    Unlike the front wheel drive Golf, the R20 will feature All Wheel Drive (AWD) for maximum traction and performance.

    To make the compact Golf look the part of a proper hot hatch, the R20 features LED lights, a revised front grille, a rear diffuser with centrally located dual tailpipes, super sized alloy wheels with low profile tyres and some interior tweaks.


    The 2010 Golf R20 is expected to go on sale in Europe early next year in both three-door and five-door versions.

      you cannot argue with a VW R in the same way that you cannot argue with M Power!!! I am not saying its on the same level, i am just saying nothing wrong with a fast DUB.


      Think before you act.

            I'm loving the new VW range... not crazy about the exhausts in the middle but that's the last thing I'll be thinking about :)

              looks really good, they ditched the 3.2 N/A engine for a 2.0T with more power & less weight.... they're heading the same direction as M division in BMW :bow:

              I think VW could do some nice Golf Coupe, why are they stuck with hatchbacks!? :dunno:

                Their Golf coupe version is the Eos... which they should make into an R version... but for them it has always been about being one of the top hot hatches in the market

                  i know what you mean, but to me the EOS is a german 307CC or Megane CC.. i meant an aggressive looking coupe (not vert) that can compete with the 1-series for example!
