I've been averaging only 500 miles a year, since I bought this buggy from the 2nd owner 6 years ago. It's a blast to drive and deserves an owner that can spend more time in it . . . or better yet can bring it up to show quality as it's a collector's item.

While the vehicle is in great condition for 39 years old, the paint job has some small nicks & chips here and there. The front bottom edges of the rear fenders and the right front bumper bracket are the only visible locations where rust may begin. See photos. Bars on convertible frame are bent, but still function. See photos for this as well. The floor pans seem solid, but I recommend that a serious buyer look at them and confirm. I've never tried the heater, as I never drove it when the roads were treated for ice and snow. It's been garage kept.

The engine starts right up and runs great. The transmission shifts smoothly. Tires have most of the tread on them.

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch

Sun, 20 Apr 2014

This, friends, is what happens when you shoehorn 395 horsepower into a Golf. You get a three-door hatch that will happily scurry to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph. Oh yes, we like you, Golf R 400 Concept.
As we explained in our original post, the R 400 is the long-awaited successor to bonkers Golf creations like the GTI W12 from 2007 and, more recently, the Design Vision GTI. It's powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in a number of Volkswagen (and Audi, SEAT and Skoda) products, although it's been heavily massaged to pump out 332 pound-feet of torque along side its amplified horsepower.
Naturally, it's been lowered and now rides on 19-inch wheels. Outside of those changes, though, mums the word on suspension and chassis enhancements. While this is a bummer, the striking looks of the Golf R 400 more than make up for it.
