[non Scirocco] Euro VR6 Golf returns (from R&T)



VW seems to be returning to the old pattern of
screwing the U.S. market . . .

"In Europe, the Volkswagen Golf with the narrow-angle
2.8-liter VR6 has just been reintroduced. But the
engine isn't the same VR6 as you have in the U.S.
Thanks to a new cylinder head with four valves per
cylinder and variable valve timing, the European
engine puts out 204 bhp and 198 lb.-ft. of torque,
gains of 30 bhp and 17 lb.-ft., respectively.
Unfortunately, VW of America has no immediate plans to
use this hotter VR6 in the U.S. market." —Paul Frère
