The R brand was originally known as Volkswagen Individual, however they changed it to just the letter “R” in order to stand for “racing.” Even though there has been no talk of coming out with another model, the German carmaker has put the R on its other various cars, such as Passat, Touareg, and Scirocco. Volkswagen has come out Scirocco R, Touareg R50, Passat R36, and some other ones as well.

Volkswagen R Stuns the Racing World

There have been some rumours of expansion in the R division. This is including a push to 400-horsepower for the Golf R and adding a R version to the Tiguan.
