kebabman 0 Posted February 7, 2006 Was browsing the wikpedia pages on the VR6 and noticed at the bottom they mention that the R36 is in the pipeline, a quick google confirmed it with the 3.6L engine from the Yank Passat VR6 being the power source, hence the name change. 280bhp in Passat guise....rumoured to be 300bhp by the time it lands in the Golf. Should be a bit of a beast! 8) http://www.automobilemag.com/auto_shows ... _golf_r32/ Think the 3.6 would go in a Rado? :twisted: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 7, 2006 I reckon it would yeah! :-) VW are still way off the mark power wise though.... nearly all of it's competitors are around the (normally aspirated) 100bhp/litre mark now but VW don't seem interested in making a high revving M5/RS4-esque beast. Come on Dub ya, lets have 360hp from the 3.6 please..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
H8RRA 0 Posted February 7, 2006 ....and what wrong with your 300bhp? 2.9 - thats about right, isn't it? ;) (after a few minor mods, that is :roll: ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 7, 2006 Yeah but that's forced induction - i.e. cheating :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Not_Aircooled_or_Taxfree 0 Posted February 7, 2006 Only 300hp from the engine? Why not more? Surely the engine is capable of much more. I still wanna go when one comes out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trig 0 Posted February 7, 2006 Yeh I edited it. :) Quoted from t'other thread.. They assured us that all the pictures that have been published so far by all the German "Springer Verlag" magazines (AutoExpress in the UK, AutoBild in Germany) are fakes, and the final product will not look like these fakes.
