Volkswagen releases information on new T-Roc R

Developed by Volkswagen R, this powerful vehicle boasts some impressive performance data: The four-cylinder TSI engine with its 2.0-litre capacity and proven Volkswagen TSI technology has an output of 296bhp as well as torque of 400Nm. It is equipped with a 4MOTION all-wheel drive and a seven-gear DSG dual-clutch gearbox as standard.

This combination ensures excellent acceleration without any loss of traction. The Volkswagen T-Roc R can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 4.9 seconds, while the top speed is electronically limited to 250km/h. 

The sports running gear (with lowered suspension) ensures ideal road holding. The progressive steering included as standard plays a major part in ensuring agile driving behaviour, while the 17-inch brake system - which was previously only found in the Volkswagen Golf R Performance - provides effective braking.

The driving modes include a special race mode, which guarantees an especially sporty driving experience. These measures are supplemented by the launch control feature, which provides optimal traction during acceleration while offering maximum drive torque and a corresponding stability management programme.

The ESC Electronic Stability Control feature can be manually switched off to ensure particularly dynamic driving on the edge. Thanks to its sporty handling and specific design, the T-Roc R offers the perfect combination of performance and lifestyle.
