Maybe they will make a "R32" type version down the line somewhere?

DEDLYWEPN · #7 27-05-2009, 11:20 AM

This is the 'R' version dude

No, I mean they might make a 4WD V6 variant down the line after they judge how good the sales of this so called "R" version FWD model.

Nah no more V6s, something to do with emissions. The next R32 (R20) is using same engine as S3 - 2lT, but should be lighter and more powerful than current R32.

according to the article, the next R32 will share the same motor as will be used in this car!? Better stick with the AWD though!!

"Expect the same engine, which delivers considerably more performance than the both the Golf GTI (154kW) and the current V6-powered Golf R32, to replace the 184kW/320Nm 3.2-litre six-cylinder for the next generation of the latter, as Volkswagen continues on a path towards simpler, lighter performance vehicles powered by smaller, more fuel-efficient forced-induction engines."
