Rumor: New Golf series to hit 328 hp in 2020

Volkswagen will be launching many great and promising cars in 2020, including the Golf GTI, TCR, and R. No specs have been revealed to date, but we have a source claiming inside knowledge of the company’s affairs.

According to it, the Golf GTI will arrive packing a two-liter turbo engine rated close to 232 hp (173 kW), assisted by a 48-volt starter. Customers will be able to choose between six-speed manual and seven-speed DCT for the transmission.

The GTI TCR will allegedly have the same displacement volume and mild-hybrid add-on, but it will churn out 286 hp (213 kW). Aside from the extra pull, it will get a limited-slip rear differential, high-end brakes, larger wheels, and a lower ride height.

The Golf R will occupy the topmost position with its 328-hp (245-kW) mild-hybrid drivetrain and 7-G DCT.
