After being absent from the international factory-backed motorsport space since 2021, Volkswagen has announced an upcoming track-only Golf R model built in association with Max Kruse Racing, which will race at the 24h Nurburgring event in 2027. Alongside the announcement, Volkswagen has shared the first glimpse at the hot hatchback’s “most spectacular” version with the Golf R 24H show car. While the upcoming racer’s class and powertrain details are yet to be standard Golf R. Although, the show car is draped in heavy camouflage, it gets some noticeable design changes compared to the regular model.
