      I think that its going to be the 3.6 from the passat. They have already made the RGTI which was the 350 BHP GTI running a massive turbo with carbon fibre everywhere.

        The info I've read is from owners who have ordered the car here http://www.tyresmoke.net/ubbthreads/...0/fpart/3/vc/1

        280hp is possible remember Audi sell the S3 with 265hp

              that was a american concept vehicle made by a crew of designers to show aftermarket utilisation.
              everywhere I looked it said 3.6l.dont you guys believe the 2l tfsi is not worthy of the RSI badge??? what would be the diff with the GTI or is it just a badge???

                Well if 2.0T produces same power as 3.6 V6 and weighs less, then why not
                Also on VWvortex a poster posted that the 3.6 V6 does not meet Euro crash regulations in MkV body

                    Whats the difference between the 3.2 and the 3.6 that would make a difference in a crash test?

                      My guess: engine block weight and/or block size not leaving enough crumple zone room.

                          From TyreSmoke.net
                          Just received a phone call from a VW Sales Manager I currently have my name down with for this RSI/R36.

                          He stated that in the last 2 weeks Volkswagen Marketing in Wolfsburg (one of his guys has just returned from Wolfsburg and heard it from the horses mouth) have now decided not to go ahead with the RSI/R36 (due to underlying cost reasons). The Sales Manager is a true petrol head/enthusiast and I kind of believe him
                          Make of it what you want but he stated that he is calling around the other people on this list to deliver the bad news


                          This thread on tyresmoke.net was the original source of most of the info. It's a long one...
                          Hopefully the above news is just to throw media off

                              VW really needs to do this. 206kw in a hatch is some serious headkicking power and would start giving the speedy jap stuff a real scare!
