Jim 2 Posted December 21, 2016 Sometimes you just happen to stumble upon a fascinating forum post, and this is one such example. http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4831303-engine-code-hbh This VW Vortex thread contains more information / history about the VR6 motor than I never knew about. I did know they'd planned to make a diesel version, and I knew that they had prototyped a lower displacement 24v (the "RV6") well ahead of the eventual release of the 12v VR6 that we have in the Corrado. But I didn't know they tried multiple different variants before settling on the designs that we now know of... such as an even narrower angle in the cylinders (8 degrees!), an inline 6 cylinder, single overhead cam, TRIPLE overhead cam... Scroll down to the bottom of the link to check out the pictures. Fascinating stuff! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
