Reports are coming in that Volkswagen has approved production of the Golf R400 and will be launched next year.

Volkswagen Golf R400 said to become a reality

Although not yet officially confirmed by VW, Car Magazine UK is reporting that the production Golf R400 will enter full series production in 2015 and will follow closely in the footsteps of the concept.

The vehicle will supposedly be the first in the VW line-up to premiere the high-output 2.0-litre turbo engine. With an all-wheel drive feature and a high-performance braking system, the turbocharged four-cylinder engine is expected to have an output of about 309 kW and 450 Nm of torque. The vehicle is also said to feature a number of aerodynamic styling tweaks along with a restrained body kit.

Rumours are the Volkswagen Golf R400 will debut at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show and go on sale late next year.
