Volkswagen will be releasing in Europe and soon in Malaysia their latest open top ‘R’ car. This will be the upcoming 2013 Golf ‘R’ Cabriolet. The latest R model seems to have the same design as the concept unveiled at the 2011 Worthersee event. The production version comes with an aggressive spoiler, new side skirts and dual exhaust tail-pipes. There are also a new set of LED daytime running lights, black accents and Talladega alloy wheels.
On the inside you will see leather seats, a flat-bottom steering wheel and a lot of R logos to keep buyers reminded of its sporting pedigree. The German car company PR department did not reveal the technical specifications, but the model is expected to have under the bonnet a turbocharged 2.0 liter petrol engine that can develop 270 hp and 350 Nm. Thanks to these figures, the 2013 Golf R Cabrio should be able to sprint from stand still to 100km/h in less than 6 seconds and hit a top speed of 250 km/h easily.
