The T-Roc debuted in 2017. The performance T-Roc R version is due in 2019.
WOLFSBURG: Volkswagen is working on a sporty, performance version of its crossover, which has now been spotted in full camouflage speeding around the Nürburgring race track in Germany, as seen in a video shared by YouTuber, Automotive Mike.
From the look of the video, the T-Roc R appears to have a larger radiator grill, thicker bumpers and two dual exhausts at the back.
Since the T-Roc shares a technical platform with the Golf, there is a strong chance that it could get the same four-cylinder 2.0-litre turbocharged engine as the Golf R, which boasts 300hp (although the next generation could push up to 400hp) and 4Motion all-wheel drive.
The T-Roc R isn't expected to land in dealerships until 2019.
