The new Arteon R and Arteon R Shooting Brake are now the most powerful models in the seriesThe first models will be arriving in Volkswagen dealerships showrooms in April
The new Arteon R and the Arteon R Shooting Brake are unmistakably true R models. With an output of 235 kW / 320 PS, these are now the top models in the series – and this power has rarely been available in a more elegant form. Both models impress with accomplished design, exceptional driving comfort and pure performance. At Volkswagen-Newsroom.en, media representatives can now access extensive material consisting of written information, photos, footage, and sound clips from developers and testers, offering detailed explanations of the new top models.
Volkswagen brought the new Arteon to market last Autumn, and with it an additional body variant: the new Arteon Shooting Brake. Now the powerful top models have been added, and their key data is impressive: acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, an optional increase in maximum speed to 270 km/h, plus permanent all-wheel drive with the sophisticated R-Performance Torque Vectoring technology, which distributes power individually between the rear wheels and enables even higher cornering speeds. The exclusive R colour Lapiz Blue is available for both body variants. The high-performance braking system with blue brake callipers and R logo and the distinct front air intakes not only look good, but also enhance performance. The suspension is tuned for a sportier drive, and the DCC adaptive dampers can be steplessly adjusted using the touchscreen in the cockpit.
