All of this power comes from the small, single turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and when all that power is sent through all four wheels, the Golf R Concept will reportedly hit 100 km\/h in a brisk 3.9 seconds. Torque has also been significantly increased from the 280 lb-ft of the standard Golf R with it rising to 383 lb-ft. When it is all said and done, the VW Golf R 400 Concept tops out at 282 km\/h.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gtspiritmedia.com\/gtspirit\/uploads\/2014\/04\/VW-Golf-400-R-23.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gtspiritmedia.com\/gtspirit\/uploads\/2014\/04\/VW-Golf-400-R-23-696x385.jpg\" alt=\"Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept Previewed Before Beijing\" title=\"Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept Previewed Before Beijing\" width=\"640\" height=\"452\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-96182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/VW-Golf-400-R-23-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/VW-Golf-400-R-23-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/VW-Golf-400-R-23-696x492.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/VW-Golf-400-R-23-100x70.jpg 100w, https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/VW-Golf-400-R-23-1068x756.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/VW-Golf-400-R-23.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As the following sketches show, the Golf R 400 Concept also features a much more aggressive body than the standard Golf R.
