Volkswagen Golf R20 spy shot

Volkswagen is hard at work on the new Golf R20. Then again, we’d all like to consider testing a car at the Nurburgring work.

This car was disguised as a 2.0 TDI Golf VI, so there really isn’t much to show from the spy shot except the tell-tale central dual exhaust. By the time the car makes its debut (possibly as early as May,) we can expect a full ground-hugging body kit in a similar fashion to the R32.

The R20 will be taking the place of the R32 with a smaller and lighter 2.0-liter engine. It’s a similar unit available in the GTI, but with more boost produce 270 hp. The R20 should be a close cousin to Audi’s S3, so we expect the R20 to have a 0 to 60 mph time in the similar five second range.
