According to CAR, VW is rumored to be prepping an even hotter version of the GTI, dubbed the GTI-R.
The R version of the GTI will not use the 3.2L V6 from the R32, instead a turbocharged four-cylinder with around 266 horsepower, which could be the same engine in the Audi S3. All that power will be mated to an all-wheel-drive system. To make up for the added weight of the awd system, VW will also seek to cut the weight by removing some features.
The GTI-R is rumored for an unveiling at the Frankfurt Motor Show this fall and a release sometime in early 2010.
