The American customers that feel betrayed as Volkswagen will not offer the Scirocco R in the US can now smile as the latest performance news reveals that the German based company will release the Golf R to the market. The new VW Golf R for 2010 will make its debut at the Frankfurt Show, but this leak will cover a bit of information until we have the real news.

The 0-100km/h time will be 6.5 seconds on the 6-speed manual, while the DSG ‘boxed model will get this acceleration race done in 6.4 seconds.

These images reveal an aggressive, but yet leaked version of the VW Golf R. Stay tuned for the official model, which will of course come soon!
