The R400 comes with a hefty body kit, lowered suspension, 19 inch wheels, and a large wing at the back. Power comes from a souped up variant of the 2.0 turbo that also powers the Golf GTI (210hp) and the Golf R (296hp).

The R400 has quite a few horses more. The engine delivers 395hp and 450nm,  sending power to all four wheels via a 6-speed DSG. Unlimited top speed is 306km/h and 0-100 is gone in only 3.9 seconds.

The base Volkswagen Golf, including the GTI, is manufactured in China by the FAW-Volkswagen joint venture. The R400 however will be imported into China from Germany, just like the Golf R.
