Don’t get fooled by the R32 badge on the back — spy photographers have snapped a new round of images images showing the upcoming Volkswagen Golf/Rabbit R36. For those who believe the 250 hp engine in the R32 isn’t enough, Volkswagen is developing this 300 hp version.


The engine, known from the recently official Passat R36 gets the air to breath through bigger air intakes.The prototype also has also a slightly different front grille, which could change even more by production.

Compared to the R32, the air intakes in this R36 prototype look huge. As with the R32, this R36 gets the power to the ground with all-wheel-drive and a DSG gearbox.

Right click the "x", click properties, copy & paste the url, paste into url window and run. After you see the photo on the url, you will also see the photo in the post. Don't ask me why???????????

 

i wish they'd bring this to the U.S.

probably won't though

 

Anyone else notice the Passat behind it with the lower front fascia and the R36 badge in the grille in this pic?

Ah, didn't know that. I haven't followed VW since I left the dealership I worked for over a year and a half ago. It doesn't exactly strike me as a special model since the last one had the 280hp W8.

 

Since our top of the line Passat gets the 3.6 VR6 it's not too special to us, it basically a trim package. To the rest of the world it's the top dog.

Another rumor is the new Golf RSI. Nobody knows what motor it has or specs either. But it looks nice!
