폭스바겐 골프 R 카브리올레 컨셉트카

오스트리아에서 열린 폭스바겐 뵈르테르제 행사에 등장한 두 번째 골프 카브리엘로 고성능 버전. 골프 R 카브리올레 컨셉트카(Golf R Cabriolet concept)는 판매용이 아니라 골프의 무한한 가능성을 널리 알리기 위해 제작된 스페셜 모델이다.
블루 컬러의 골프 카브리올레 보디에 골프 R 파워트레인을 이식한 것. 최고출력 270마력짜리 2.0L TSI 엔진과 풀타임 네바퀴굴림으로 6초만에 시속 100km/h에 도달하고 최고시속 250km/h의 고성능을 낸다. 섀시도 골프 R과 같아 25mm 차체를 낮추고 19인치 휠과 235 사이즈 타이어를 신었으며 17인치 대형 디스크로터를 앞쪽에 꽂아 제동력을 높였다.


Volkswagen just recently introduced the new Golf Cabriolet, and the designers and engineers of Volkswagen R GmbH have already come up with an extremely sporty variant of this model: the Golf R Cabriolet Concept. Like its closed top counterpart, the 199 kW / 270 PS Cabriolet concept races to the 100 km/h mark in less than six seconds. Their top speeds are also identical at 250 km/h. This makes the R Cabriolet the fastest open-top Golf ever. Even more impressive, however, is the engine’s tremendous torque – 350 Newton metres from a low 2,500 rpm make this cabriolet an ideal cruiser.

Like the closed-top Golf R, the cabriolet was lowered by 25 mm via a sport chassis. A 17-inch brake system with internally ventilated discs at all wheels and blue painted high-performance brake callipers (including R-logo) enables impressive deceleration values. Making contact to the road surface on the Golf R Cabriolet Concept are 19-inch “Talladega” alloy wheels with size 235 tyres.

Naturally, the Golf R Cabriolet Concept also presents an especially sporty interior concept. Motorsport shell seats in dark blue carbon leather, combined with high-end Nappa leather in “Pure Grey”, set the tone here. The backs of the shell seats are painted in luxurious black piano paint. Upholstery piping and decorative seams provide for colour contrast. Carbon accents emphasise the concept’s technical-sporty character. The sand-blasted aluminium door sill plates with black piano paint inlays display finely crafted workmanship.
