Volkswagen Motorsport is developing its first racing car based on the seventh generation Golf. The production-based, 330-horsepower concept car is assembled in accordance with TCR (Touring Car Racer International Series) regulations and is intended to help Volkswagen evaluate a potential customer racing program from the 2016 season onwards.
To accelerate the development of the car, the new Golf will be tested under competitive conditions between now and the end of the season. As cooperation partner, the Liqui Moly Team Engstler will run two cars at the eighth round of the TCR at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austria.
