Volkswagen Golf R - Click above for high-res image gallery
Ever since
Volkswagen pulled the wraps off of the
Golf R and
Scirocco R, it was rumored that the automaker would be
creating a separate R division, solely focused around creating new performance models, as well as special design packages. The new company, Volkswagen R GmbH, will take on the responsibilities of developing, implementing and selling R-badged products henceforth.
By making R GmbH its own separate division, we'd expect to see more R-badged products hitting the streets in the near future. The new
Passat CC R-Line is already on sale in Europe, and the rumormill is buzzing about a possible Jetta R, previewed by the
New Compact Coupe concept at this year's
Detroit Auto Show. The Golf R is expected to arrive in North America next year, and we sincerely hope that R GmbH delivers more products our way shortly thereafter. Hit the jump for Volkswagen's official press release.
