Volkswagen introduced this car at last year’s Worthersee GTI meet as a concept, presumably to judge interest for it. But now the new Golf R Cabriolet has been spied testing in Germany by our photographers, hiding behind a bunch of Golf GTI parts.
When it enters production, this all-wheel drive cabriolet will offer you a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder sourced from the standard Golf R producing somewhere in the region of 265 horsepower, which makes it the strongest drop-top VW ever in production.

You can also expect the standard sprint to take about 6 seconds or under, and the top speed to be hot hatch rivaling.

Compared to the already available Golf GTI Cabirolet, it will come with a lowered suspension, bigger 18-inch wheels in the design you see here, a bespoke body kit and a leather interior with Recaro seats. But the easiest way to tell them apart will be an exhaust system with twin tips in the middle of the bumper.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
