Volkswagen is already offering a Convertible and a GTI Convertible for their Golf line, so it would be ridiculous not to apply the same treatment to the most powerful model in the Golf line-up: the R version. Our spy photographers have caught the first prototype for the R Convertible, proving that Volkswagen is getting serious about dominating the automotive world.

While the GTI Convertible is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 210 HP, the R Convertible will get the same engine as its hatchback brother: a 2.0 Liter turbocharged four cylinder engine that delivers 270 HP (the US version gets a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine that delivers a total of 256 HP). It’s still unclear if the convertible will also get four-wheel drive, but we think it will need it to get all the power to the road.

Just like the Golf R, the Convertible version will be distinguished by a sportier look and new wheels with bigger brakes.
