and you thought we were done with Volkswagen’s impressive opening at Frankfurt! Guess again. Volkswagen Individual has gone in and stirred the pot and poured out these beauties. Not sure what we will be offered in the states but I’ll take my Golf R in white!

- Scirocco R-Line – Individualised body, more elegant sport seats, sport chassis
- Passat CC R-Line – Four-door coupé crosses over to sports car
- Golf Estate Exclusive – Lifestyle estate car with the finest of features
The new Golf R – like the current Passat R36 and Touareg R50 – was developed by Volkswagen Individual, the specialist when it comes to sporty and exclusive high-end models. Volkswagen Individual developed the ‘R-Line’ equipment packages for all those customers who want the especially dynamic styling of body and interior in the spirit of the power-enhanced R models, yet prefer a conventional powertrain. The company is simultaneously presenting three models of an entirely new generation of R-Line vehicles at the IAA: the Golf R-Line, Scirocco R-Line and Passat CC R-Line. They will all be launched on the market this autumn. Together with versions already introduced on the Touran, Tiguan, Passat, Passat Estate and Touareg, a total of eight models with R-Line features will be ready at the start.
