ABT Sportsline is not wasting time and reveals a new package, this time for the Volkswagen Golf R. The hot hatch gets even more power thanks to the Germans at ABT who fitted the car with a new ABT Power S control unit and a sport catalytic converter.

Therefore, the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is now capable to produce 400 horsepower and 480 Nm of torque. We talk about extra 100hp and 100 Nm of torque, enough to enable a top speed of over 300 km/h.

The 0-100 km/h sprint time is yet to be released but expect the additional power to make a difference and shave some tenths of seconds.

At the exterior, buyers will get new 18- to 20-inch alloy wheels, a new front grille and revised side skirts. Inside, the Volkswagen Golf R stands out only thanks to the ABT floor mats.

An adjustable suspension improves the ride and handling but there aren’t too many other details on this. Pricing and availability details are yet to be released.
