During an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadandtrack.com\/news\/a60991821\/volkswagen-golf-r-clubsport\/\">Road &amp; Track<\/a>, global VW spokesperson, Martin Hube, said: &ldquo;There&rsquo;s another interesting car we are working on at the moment.

Upgrades over the standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/vw-golf-r\/\">Golf R<\/a> could include a revised suspension setup, reduced weight, and increased power.
