\nEver since Volkswagen<\/a> pulled the wraps off of the Golf R<\/a> and Scirocco R<\/a>, it was rumored that the automaker would be creating a separate R division<\/a>, solely focused around creating new performance models, as well as special design packages. The new company, Volkswagen R GmbH, will take on the responsibilities of developing, implementing and selling R-badged products henceforth.<\/p>\n

By making R GmbH its own separate division, we’d expect to see more R-badged products hitting the streets in the near future. The new Passat CC R-Line<\/a> is already on sale in Europe, and the rumormill is buzzing about a possible Jetta R, previewed by the New Compact Coupe concept<\/a> at this year’s Detroit Auto Show<\/a>. The Golf R is expected to arrive in North America next year, and we sincerely hope that R GmbH delivers more products our way shortly thereafter. Hit the jump for Volkswagen’s official press release.<\/p>\n
