Volkswagen GTI R36 a Reality?

Volkswagen GTI R

Volkswagen has already confirmed that the GTI R32 will be sold in America for about $30k, but what about the R36? The R36 is expected to have 50hp more than the R32 which is powered by a 3.2L DOHC V-6 247 hp engine. The increased power would help the car sprint from 0-60 mph just under 6.0 seconds.

VW sold about 5000 R32’s in the previous MKIV version with little or no marketing effort. Hopefully, the sales division took notice that there’s a niche for these agressively-tuned R variants.

    I’ve always like the GTI’s. I used to own a MK3 which I think is the best platform that VW ever made. Their designs are getting to Japanese looking these days.

    i agree. you can definately see alot of japanese influences in their designs lately. with a touch of european quality, but still a classic.

    Aggressive looking. I still prefer the Civic SI. Parts are cheaper to tune it.
