Do we hear whispers of Volkswagen introducing the Arteon R and Arteon R Shooting Brake to Malaysian markets?
It is powered by a 2.0 litre four-potter that produces 316 hp and 420 Nm of torque. On top of that, the Arteon R and Arteon R Shooting Brake is said to be able to sprint from zero to 100 in 4.9 seconds, with the option to increase its top speed to 270 km/h.
