Since VW ain't producing the R32 in the MK6..they are however going to release another beast! The Golf R20T. It's been reported it will have 270bhp from a 2.0 litre turbo charged engine and do 0-60 in 5 seconds flat. It's the same spec that will be used in the Scirocco R. The price will be around £25k. Looks MEAN!

nice.... but does that mean no more 6 pot golfs??

yeh it does for the time being..they ain't producing a 2.8 in the mk6 are they? It must be the current economic condition that influenced their decision..but i reckon the r32 will be back once the economy settles.

Won't be far off. Take the E46 M3 for example..343bhp but weighs around 1550kg....against R20T 270bhp weighs around 1270kg.

M3 BHP/tonne = 225

R20T BHP/tonne = 216

Not much difference.

They will do well to make the R20 1270 considering its rumoured to be 4mo also.Its a sad day when there is no golf with a 6 pot from the factory,i don't think the R32 will be back thus making the R32 an instant classic esp the mk4.
