2012 VW Golf R20

It's a good thing this car is my car of the day, because, at long last, this peppy little Golf is coming stateside in 2012. That's right! In two years time, you'll be able to get your hands on the fastest Golf ever produced. When the R32 was here, it ran on a 3.2-liter V6. This time, VW has taken the engine from the Golf GTI and replaced it's turbo with a much bigger one giving it 270 horsepower, at least that's how much it has in Europe. The US output has not been announced yet, but expect it to be pretty powerful. But, like all the Golf R's, this one will also come with 4Motion All-Wheel Drive for traction and stability. It may even come in a 3 or 5-door model and have a manual transmission, since the DSG (Dual Sequential Gearbox) is standard on this car. Anyway or another, this Turbo-nutting Golf will be here on our turf in 2012. Get Ready!
