-Designed by VW Individual creators of current R32 & R36.
-500 to be produced.
-4Motion standard confirmed by various sources.
-280hp / 206kW.
-Engine to be a 2.0TFSI (rumours say 3.6 V6).
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.

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
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
