Volkswagen hopes equipped with Audi’s five-cylinder engines for the high R, Audi: My performance car also how to sell?

For all the VW Golf R hot hatch king session players presumably are very concerned with the frequent appearance of high R, its information It has become increasingly clear. But today I would like to talk, about some unknown secret (ba) secret (gua) between Volkswagen and Audi.

According to foreign media reports, VW had initially planned on for the new Golf R powertrain models of the new adjustments, including the performance of the car you want to put on the Audi five-cylinder engine, the Audi executives but was politely declined the requirements of the public with a 2.5-liter TFSI engine.

It is speculated that Audi does not want to snatch RS3 Golf R models in the market. Because the public generally priced cheaper models, which may affect the sales performance of high-performance Audi Sportback models.

The reason why Audi would agree KTM and Donkervoort companies use their turbocharged inline five-cylinder engine, because they do not directly compete with the RS3, TT RS Q3 RS or other performance models.

Further, Audi in Hungary plant also very difficult to increase production five-cylinder engine. It is reported that the plant can produce the Audi A3, S3, RS3, TT, TTS, TT RS and Q3, Q3 Sportback other models, completely say it is a super plant. But manufacturing 5-cylinder engine, it is still very laborious, if want to increase production too difficult for them.

Although Audi refused to provide engines for the new generation of Golf R, but the dynamic performance of the new generation of Golf R models will still be significantly improved, maximum engine power of the new Golf R models will be more than 330 horsepower, still quot; play pig eat tiger quot; best players. Most importantly, the high R Cannon king will not be electrified quot; quot ;, pollution is still authentic internal combustion engine.

VW R head of the department Jost Capito said: “in addition to the original guarantee, the hybrid system is not equipped with a main reason is that there is, the volume of the engine compartment R golf does have some small, similar to the fit turui R PHEV mounted on hybrid systems, so we choose to continue to the internal combustion engine performance play to the limit. “

8th generation Golf R date is scheduled for the summer of 2020 at the 2020 Goodwood Festival of speed, but because of new outbreaks of the crown global pandemic, there is likely to delay the release of a new car, but will certainly uncover the riddle before the end of the year. I think this cannon king of performance will not let us down!
