Volkswagen will have an awesome concept on display at the Beijing Motor Show 2014 tomorrow. Surpassing the Volkswagen Golf R we saw last year, the Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept demonstrates the potential for the versatile Golf platform. To be frank, it is a Volkswagen Golf on acid!

Based on the standard Golf R hatchback, the R 400 Concept shares the same 2.0 litre four-cylinder engine and 4MOTION four-wheel drive system. The Golf R 400 Concept is pumped up considerably with an extra 100 hp and 70 Nm of torque. Full figures are 400 hp together with 450 Nm of torque available from 2,400 to 6,000 rpm.

The concept was developed by Volkswagen R GmbH, the arm responsible for high-power and customisation projects. The extra power of the Golf R 400 helps propel the car, with its six-speed DSG gearbox, from rest to 62 mph in just 3.9 seconds. Thats a whole second faster than the Volkswagen Golf R. Top speed is an electronically governed 174 mph.
