The news is advanced by the usually well-informed German publication Auto Bild, which guarantees that the R versions of the two SUVs coming from Wolfsburg, as well as the more radical variant of the Arteon, are on their way and arrive later this year.
Also according to the same source, the Volkswagen T-Roc R it should come with the 2.0 Turbo Gasoline Golf R — delivering 310 hp. Like all Rs, the T-Roc R will feature all-wheel drive.
already the Volkswagen Tiguan R , despite having initially reported that it would have the desired five-cylinder 2.5-liter Audi — engine that equips the TT RS and RS3, reaching 400 hp —, the chances of this happening are increasingly reduced. More likely, the Tiguan R uses the same block as the T-Roc R, albeit supposedly with more power.
The return of the VR6
Finally, the Volkswagen Arteon R , is also the one that generates more expectations. This is because it could mean the return of the nomenclature VR6.
The VR6, now with 3.0 liters (we saw a prototype at Wörthersee in 2013), will be supercharged, and it looks like it will have at least 400 hp. As he suggested, at the end of last year, the model's production line spokesperson, Martin Hube, will be able to "leave the Porsche Panamera behind!"
