Video: Listen to the Volkswagen Golf R400 light off
AdvertisementJason Cammisa just strapped testing equipment to a Mk7 Golf R; the numbers were good—better than the last Golf R by every measure—but the car left him a little cold. Maybe the R400 will be the car we want the 2015 Golf R to be.
It sounds the part in this video—a fat, deep tone that seems to belie the fact that it’s really a 2-liter EA888 under there. The tone coming out of honeycomb-detailed twin center-exit pipes at least matches up with the expected 395 hp. As a reminder, the good news is that the R400 will be produced, but it’s still an open question as to whether it’ll come to the US.
