The new Volkswagen T-Roc R - Sovereign performance

"We have re-sharpened the T-Roc R and emphasized its athletic character even more. As a result, the new model does 100 percent justice to Volkswagen R's premium claim," explains Reinhold Ivenz, new head of the R business unit at Volkswagen. With its model-specific drive and chassis technology, the new T-Roc R provides a fascinating racing feeling. Its 2.0-liter TSI engine generates a maximum output of 221 kW (300 hp) and a maximum torque of 400 Nm. The power is transmitted to the road via a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (with launch control function) and the intelligent 4MOTION all-wheel drive system. A special sports suspension and progressive steering enable extremely agile handling characteristics. A model-specific button on the redesigned multifunction leather steering wheel (with shift paddles and touch controls, among other things) allows direct access to the driving profile selection, which also features a race mode.
