Four wheel drive,DSG,launch control, 400 horsepower, 0-62 in 3.9 seconds and a governed top speed of 280km/h. This is what the new Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept brings to the table of hot hatches.
Unveiled at Auto China 2014 this Golf shows just how much Volkswagen R Gmbh, the company in charge of the VW WRC team, has learned from their rally cars. The Golf R 400 is incredibly light - only 1,420kg. This may sound a lot for a hatchback but remember this Golf has a DSG gearbox and is four wheel drive and yet it weighs the same as a front wheel drive Ford Focus.

From the original Golf Rallye, through the W12 Golf Concept to the Golf R 400 Concept - VW are well known for bonkers hatchbacks. Let's just hope that the Golf will have the most important characteristic of a hot hatch - low price.
