Volkswagen is teasing the Golf VII R which is likely to be shown at first as a concept.

The online reveal will occur in two weeks while the public debut is most likely set for March at the Geneva Motor Show. Chances are it will be a concept previewing the production model scheduled for a Frankfurt launch in September.

Under the hood it will probably have a 2.0-liter TFSI EA888 engine producing around 290 hp (216 kW). The engine will be connected to a six-speed manual or a six-speed DSG sending power to a Haldex all-wheel drive system. Judging by the speedometer on VW's website, the Golf VII R will be able to reach a top speed (most likely electronically limited) of 250 km/h (155 mph).

Sales should commence in early 2014 with prices in Germany starting at 38,000 EUR. Until then, Volkswagen will introduce the production version of the Golf VII GTI.

Wow, looks great... maybe
I find it hilarious that this will have 10hp less than the S3, hopefully nothing a simple ECU flash won't fix.

Also, I hope US continues to get the manual. Pointless DSG vs manual debate to follow...
