A great mix of hot Volkswagen prototypes
was spotted in Switzerland by YouTuber “TheTFJJ” at a hotel somewhere near St
Moritz where he pulled over to have lunch. While none of the cars actually
carried any camouflage, all of them had testing equipment inside the cabin.
There were a few Golf GTI prototypes carrying the production body but without
the LED lights in the front bumper, while some were hiding underneath the Mk7
body.
It was the same story with the Golf R as
one of the cars had the previous generation’s body while another had the new
bodywork, albeit with the blue accents on the front grille as seen on the
plug-in hybrid GTE. It does look rather
bland, but it’s better to wait for VW to release the final version in the months
to come before passing any judgment on the car’s appearance. Having seen the
new Golf GTI in official images, we’re expecting the same level of subtle
sportiness from the all-paw R, plus double the number of exhaust tips.
Prototypes of what might’ve been the
Tiguan R and Arteon R were seen sharing the parking lot with the hot hatches,
with both looking like the R Line variant. The crossover had quad tips and
provided a sweet engine soundtrack you can’t have on a current Tiguan, unless
you decide to go with a custom exhaust system.
