We have good news for Volkswagen fans as the company confirmed that a production model of the Golf R400 concept is currently in the works.

Concept models are great, but sadly, not most of them are going to be mass produced and sold worldwide. That’s not the case of the German prototype, which received green light for production.

Furthermore, Volkswagen confirmed that they want to keep the same 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and even increase its output to 420 horsepower. Usually, companies fit very powerful engines on concepts and replace them on the production variants.
