Volkswagen's golf prototype has been recently presented. It is a powerful car with 400 hp of power (294 kW), as its name indicates, which accelerates from 0 to 100 in 3.9 seconds. The maximum golf speed R 400 is 280 km/h (electronically regulated), provided that it circulates on a German highway or a racing circuit.
Golf R 400, lighter
The golf r 400 weighs only 1,420 kg, thus each horse of power moves 3.55 kg . The Volkswagen "4Motion" permanent traction system is one of the most saving systems of this type. In addition, golf is really dynamic, also as a R 400 version. Some of the details in visible carbon fiber are the adopted spoiler of the automobile sport ( surrounding aerodynamic constructive pieces) and genuine carbon applications inside.
TURBO ENGINE R 400 200 CV per liter of displacement
The R 400 golf equips a 2.0 engine similar to the WRC racing engine, which has 200 hp per liter of displacement. In addition, the Volkswagen Golf R400 engine develops a couple of 295 kW / 400 hp (at 7,200 rpm). Being able to increase its maximum torque by 70 Nm, up to 450 Nm (between 2,400 and 6,000 rpm).
The total traction system and R 400 4motion
Like all golf R, Golf R 400 includes the permanent total traction system "4Motion . "4Motion" system is coupled to an automatic double clutch change (DSG), which can also be manually handled through a gear lever or cams located in the steering wheel. The "4Motion" system is activated before a wheel slide occurs, to avoid possible traction losses.
EDS, XDS, ESC Sport
The operation of the clutches is as follows: the Haldex clutch acts as a longitudinal differential and the electronic differential "eds", integrated into the "ESC" electronic stability control system, as a transverse differential. In addition, the R 400 golf equips the XDS+ differential on the front and rear axes that slows the interior wheels of the curve when curves are taken at high speed optimizing the direction behavior. Finally, Golf R 400 has, like the serial model, the "ESC Sport" function. The system is activated through a two -stage switch located in the central console. If the driver press the switch briefly once, the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) connects in the "ESC Sport" mode. In rapid journeys with a large number of curves - for example, in a racing circuit - the "ESC" is activated later allowing more agile maneuvers. If the "ESC" key for more than three seconds is kept , the system will be completely deactivated to facilitate professional driving in the career circuit.
The new R 400 golf tires The new design of the light alloy wheels of golf R 400 is oriented to the 19 -inch wheels of the "cadiz" type. However, it has suffered deep modifications, such as the integration of bright black elements that perfect the refrigeration of the brake system, acting as air shovels.
R 400 exterior
The 19 -inch tires have moved significantly to the sides and the body width has been expanded in 20 mm on each side. The fenders are now more exposed . The rear sides of Golf R 400 also widen through the wheel steps.
The lower area of the sides is characterized by a aerodynamic carbon fiber locate with a layer of matte paint abroad . Above the spoiler, the designers also adapted the appelids to the new contours creating a homogeneous transition to the new design wheel steps . The front and the back of the golf R 400 have also been redesigned.
The interior of golf R 400
The driver and co -pilot places now have sports seats, upholstered in sewers and carbon leather, with integrated headrest and holes for the seat belt.
Decorative seams and trim contrast with the fresco "lemon yellow ". The backs of the front seats have the embroidered emblem on the leather upholstery.
The dominant material of the applications of the doors and the golf dashboard R 400 on the side of the companion, as well as the sports steering wheel is carbon . The decorative elements of the central console, the dashboard inserts and the bezels of air exits have been covered with bright black piano lacquer. In the area of applications and coatings of fine steel doors, white environmental lighting is also integrated.
