2015 VW Golf 7 R 400
Golf 7 R 400 concept from the recent 2014 Beijing Auto Show
has been confirmed for production, according to VW R&D chief
Heinz-Jakob Neusser. Speaking with Car and Driver, Neusser revealed the
good news but didn’t say whether the production version would be offered
in the U.S. market.
The Golf 7 R 400 concept is based on the latest 2015 Golf R hot hatch and was built to demonstrate the performance capabilities of the latest Golf. It features the same EA888 engine found in the Golf R, a turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter four.

2015 VW Golf 7 R 400 Performance
In the Golf 7 R 400 the engine delivers 290 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, but for the Golf R 400 concept output was dialed up to 395 hp (400 horsepower in metric figures) and 332 lb-ft of torque. Incredibly, the Golf R 400’s version of the engine only received some mild revisions to handle higher boost pressure from its turbocharger, meaning we could see its performance figures maintained for production.
