As its name implies, the Golf R Evo will be a more extreme variant of the existing Golf R. It will weigh considerably less than its regular-production counterpart thanks to the extensive use of carbon fiber body panels, lighter alloy wheels and thinner bucket seats.
The rear seats will be replaced by a high-strength roll cage in order to further reduce weight and emphasize the sporty nature of the car. A model-specific instrument cluster and a considerably simpler dashboard will round out the updates inside the car.
The Evo will be powered by an evolution of the Golf R’s 2.0-liter TSI that will be massaged to churn out around 370 horsepower and 330 lb-ft. of torque, enabling the hot hatch to reach 62 mph from a stop in under 4.9 seconds. Power will be sent to all four wheels wheels via a six-speed dual-clutch transmission and a Haldex-type all-wheel drive system.
British magazine Auto Express reports the Golf R Evo will be added to Volkswagen’s lineup as a regular-production model if it generates a favorable response from the show-going public.
Look for official details about the Volkswagen Golf R Evo to emerge in the weeks leading up to its debut in the capital of China.
