Presented as a concept car at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, the Golf VII R 400 should have been the most powerful version of the Golf ever produced. Moreover, it had been presented in an almost final form but the project was not completed and was abandoned. The situation did not lend itself little to the commercialization of such a model. The R 400 was equipped with a 1984cc inline 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine, with an output of 400 horsepower at 7200 rpm.
