The new Golf R20 is making some quick laps at the Nürburgring racetrack disguised as a 2.0 TDI. But they can't fool us, not with those two big central mounted exhaust pipes. While the R32 had a six cylinder engine with 250 horsepower, the new R20 will have a version of the 2.0 liter turbocharged engine with direct injection which will be tuned to produce 270 horsepower. That should be enough to let the R20 accelerate up to 100 km/h in the low five seconds range.

To stop the car is as important as power, and this prototype has the same brakes as the Audi S3 which will be enough for this power rabbit. Both 3- and 5-door versions will be available but we expect the 3-door version to come first.

Expect a more aggressive front bumper when the R20 will have its debut, rumors says it will be in May at the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring.

AWD Golf R45 with 340hp on the way






VW Golf R20T to receive 2.0L biturbo with 300hp - AWD Golf R45 with 340hp on the way



VW is testing both the Golf and Scirocco models with a new 2.0 liter, twin-turbo engine as well as a 2.5 liter, 5-cylinder from Audi

Quote:
Details on the turbo-twinning technology are not yet available but it seems VW will push the 2.0 liter power plant it shares with Audi (as seen in the S3 with 265 hp) to even higher levels than the current, rather tame, 211 hp rating in the Golf GTI and those 265 horses in the S3.
Also under testing in both those models in all-wheel-drive form by VW is Audi's new 2.5 liter, turbocharged 5-cylinder engine with 340 hp and 450 Nm of torque recently introduced in the new TT-RS. The models are designated by the attached R45 moniker and AutoMotorSport.se is reporting that even that powerplant may be getting a boost to 390 hp.

Why? I mean, this car will cost so much that it will be pointless. The R32 sells for about 30K here in the US. The R45 will sell easily over 40K. For that much money you can buy a normal golf and modify it yourself and still save money.

Why call it "R45", why not just "R25"? The name "R45" gives an impression the car was powered by a 4.5-liter V8 or something...

I think RSI for the 2.0T version and R GT or R GTI for the 2.5TFSI would suit it better

This is Volkswagen’s answer to Ford Focus RS: the Golf R20. While its competitors have waged a power war, the Golf GTI has been left behind with just 207bhp.

This car, fitted with a modified version of the last Golf GTI’s EA113 2.0-litre with direct injection, will have over 260bhp and replaces the six-cylinder R32.

Unlike the front-drive Scirocco R, the range-topping Golf will have four-wheel drive. It should crack 60mph in less than six seconds and hit an electronically limited top speed of 155mph.

Previous spy shots have revealed none of the aggressive styling features of the new R20, but these pics clearly show the extended side sills and gaping intakes in the front bumper.

The lower section of the nose will be very similar to the Scirocco R’s, which also shares the engine and mechanicals. Twin exhausts at the rear ape the look of the R32 and the bumper is extended.

Lowered suspension, different dampers and new springs will help the R20’s handling, along with a reworked version of Volkswagen’s Adaptive Chassis Control (ACC).

The car is expected to be displayed at the Frankfurt motor show next month.
