The successor of the Volkswagen R36 is finally coming, but it’s a pity that the VR6 engine can no longer be seen

The current CC (known as Arteon overseas), known as the "most beautiful Volkswagen car", adopts the latest design of the Volkswagen family. From its release to domestic production, it has been the topic of many Volkswagen fans. It's a pity that "it's well received but not popular", and sales have never been great.

Unknowingly, the Volkswagen Arteon has reached the mid-term facelift time. As the successor of the R36, the rumored performance version Arteon? R is still among the "rumors". Just when everyone began to gradually forget about this incident, Volkswagen gave everyone a surprise and recently released a wave of official images of Arteon? R and information about the power system.

First of all, everyone is concerned about the power system. Although Volkswagen executives have revealed that they will consider using a 3.0-liter VR6 turbocharged engine, this is also one of the beliefs of many Volkswagen fans. Unfortunately, what is now installed on the new car body is an EA888 EVO4 2.0-liter L4 turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 316 horsepower and a peak torque of 420 Nm. It is matched with a 7-speed DSG gearbox and a 4Motion four-wheel drive system. The acceleration time is 5 seconds.

It is reported that Arteon?R’s 4Motion all-wheel drive system is equipped with “?R-Performance?Torque?Vectroing” technology. This technology can not only change the torque distribution between the front and rear axles, but also distribute the torque to the rear wheels independently. This is similar to Audi Sport Differential. Maybe it is the same thing. After all, they are all one family.

Let’s take a look at the exterior styling. The front part of the Arteon? R is generally consistent with the new CC that has just been declared in China, but the front grille has been replaced with a larger grille and a new "R" badge.

The fenders on both sides are also equipped with "R" logo plaques and "silver ear" rearview mirrors, and are equipped with large-size double five-spoke wheels (presumably produced by BBS), and are matched with R The iconic blue brake calipers of the series have a wide range of performance. Moreover, the body lines of the hunting version are more elegant.

The rear part of the car looks particularly low-key compared to the front face. There is only a lonely R badge under the Volkswagen badge. It is only the iconic four-exhaust exhaust that gives the new car a bit of performance. Is it possible? Is this a continuation of R36's "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger" tone?

As for the interior, the overall layout of the regular model continues. You can see the carbon fiber decoration on the center console and door panels, and the three-spoke flat-bottomed steering wheel is equipped with larger shift paddles. , and the more wrapped front sports seats are not absent either.

Although the ARTEON? R? hunting version does not have the VR6 engine, the power of the EA888? "Successor" right? But I don’t know if it can be purchased in China.
