          IMO - the V6 option would need to go faster than a Golf R at 4.6s (0-100 kph). A naturally-aspirated V6 may struggle to do that... but an electric variant shouldn't have too much trouble =P

            it would most likely be a new turbo 6 or the supercharged engine from the Audi S4 around 250/260kws would be my bet

              Looks like it'll be a turbo 6 according to this review =)

                VW has been working on a twin turbo VR6 from 2013 when it fitted the engine into the GTI Concept with 500HP (that would be around 367KW). There is talks about a 300KW version pending approval for production. But with new Euro 6c emissions law kicking in 2018 yet to hear more. Would be lot faster than 4.6 sec Golf R.

                      Looks good!

                      I'm guessing that is CGI? don't think you'd be able to turn the wheels, with them being so jammed into the wheel-arch.

                          Anybody know if the sunroof in them will be a proper sunroof (ie. the internal roof is a 100% full block of the sun), or if it'll be like a moon roof (ie. the internal slider is a fabric that always lets some amount of light through)?

                            Interesting article mentions that the upcoming (electric) ID AEROe may be something along the lines of an Arteon: Volkswagen working on sporty electric liftback – report

                            An electric (performance) Arteon would be something I'd line up to put a deposit on.

                              Stumbled across this. Someone has already installed airbags. The lowered, debadged and black combination looks super mean.
                              This was in Europe I believe.

                                This is old news and nothing we don't already know, but it's good to see it in pretty print.
