Unfortunately, for the fans. The über-Golf with 400 hp remains a fata morgana.

When Volkswagen in 2014 with the R400 Concept came to the gate of the dam. “something like that, bruuts they never make it”. Yet the Germans came a year later with the redeeming word: The R400 is going to come, with more than 400 hp out of the blown tweeliter TFSI.

However, Volkswagen back on her words and get the people who are in the beginning so skeptical were their equal. Due to the aftermath of the dieselschandaal feel Volkswagen is forced some projects to blow up to save costs. This we already knew, and now it has become known that the Golf R400 is one of the victims has become as a result of these cuts, writes Autonews.

Volkswagen throws the entire project is not immediately in the trash. The already incurred development costs will be within the group at a later stage is useful. The chance is present that the 2.0 TFSI with more than 400 hp in a future Audi visit. This will be announced today, GTI Clubsport’s with 310 hp for the time being the strongest production Golf that Volkswagen has ever built.
