Default So what does everyone think of the VW Golf R32?

For those of you that havent heard about it, its basically a Golf with some ballz and style.

3.2l 24v VR6 rated at 240hp and 236 lb-ft of torque.

VW's new MQ350 six-speed transmission and 4motion four wheel drive system.

Bore and stroke were increased from 81.0 and 90.3 mm in the 2.8l to 84.0 and 95.9 mm in the new 3.2l with a compression ratio of 11.3:1.

Aristo 18" wheels specially made for VW by OZ

The suspension sits 20mm lower on H&R springs and Bilstein shocks.

Sport seats are made for Volkswagen by Konig

They are bringing the car to the States in mid Summer and should start under 30K. Its a sick little car and Im falling in love with it. Theres also a Twin Turbo kit in Europe that produces and around 400Hp, so a 600Hp Golf doesnt sound to bad. I wonder how much that damn kit cost.

Anyways check out the full article here<ul><li><a href="http://www.vwvortex.com/features/index_r32preview.html">http://www.vwvortex.com/features/index_r32preview.html</a</li></ul>

Default sounds alot like the new VR6 TT, witha traditional MT, instead of that DSG thingie...

would be nice if it were to be around 25K or so....

Default You will be able to get the R32 with the DSG.
