Recently uncovered patent renderings would appear to show that the Golf R Cabriolet is on the way and will serve as a fitting swansong for the sixth generation Golf. The images, uncovered by Chinese Car Times, show a car that is remarkably similar to the concept shown on the banks of Lake Wörthersee. Golf R trademarks including unique body styling, 19-inch 'Talladega' alloy wheels and a centrally mounted exhaust all feature.
If the Golf R Cabriolet does make production the four-wheel drive monster will be the fastest drop-top Golf ever produced. Watch out flies!
Of course none of this has any relevance to the Irish market as we do not get the recently launched GTI Cabriolet, let alone any possible R version.
