Watch the 2015 Volkswagen Golf R testing on the ring!

Spotted running hot laps around the Nürburgring, the next-generation Volkswagen Golf R looks plenty capable of occupying the top spot in the Golf lineup.

We assume the new Golf R will use a turbocharged 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine mated to either a six-speed manual or a dual-clutch transmission. Expect the production version to retain all-wheel drive and to have north of the previous MK6 R's 256 hp.

Running in light camouflage, the car should be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

Sales should start in Europe in 2014 while North American customers will most likely have to wait another year to get their hands on it.
