Spied: Volkswagen Golf (Rabbit) R36
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.
Alright, well none of this is working, so check out leftlanenews for the pics. I'll see what I can do in the future to get them up here if they are hosted elsewhere.
Anyway, if they should ever build a R36 Golf, the power in the R36 Passat should be upped, for two reasons: to differentiate itself from the Golf R36, as well as to move further away from the 3.6 standard spec Passat.
