| Volkswagens Golf R20T...rendering and speculation Source: World Car fans  A report from AutoExpress suggests that the Volkswagen brand has finally succumbed to pressures by canning the 3.2-litre naturally aspirated V6 in favour of its trusted 2.0-litre turbo. This move applies to the range-topping Golf which is not the GTI but the R32. What's more is that the name R32 will disappear along with the engine to which it referred. Instead the car will likely be called the R20T and its chief rivals will be the Ford Focus RS, VW Group cousin the Audi S3 and the Subaru Impreza STI. By tweaking the 2.0-litre's ECU about 270bhp (201kW) can be extracted, which is similar to the Audi S3's power output of 265bhp from the same engine. A high-performance Scirocco R20T is also expected to use the same engine. The car will not only have more power than the current V6's 250bhp (186kW) but also weigh less as a result of the smaller engine. Thus improved performance overall and fewer C02 emissions can be expected. Whether a 4WD system or FWD will be used remains to be seen. However two gearboxes will be mated to whichever system is chosen, these being the 6-speed manual and DSG. Styling is likely to be similar to that of the GTI and include LED daytime running lights, a sportier front bumper, flared wheel arches, and an underbody diffuser. The twin pipes located at the rear bumper centre remain in place but because the V6 is no more a similar sound will be engineered. Suggestions are that the Golf R20T as rendered on this page will debut in public at the Nürburgring 24-hour race this May. It would sell for around £25,000 for the three-door when it goes on sale in the UK in early 2010.  |

| In Germany, you could order the .:R32 with manuell... btw: I think its just a fake. R8V10 Rims and i think, there is an exact foto of a mkVI GTI... But there will be no more 6 cylinder in the .:R-model... Its the same with the S4/5. V8 gone, hello V6... Downsizing  |

| The Audi A3 has had Quatro with the 2.0T for quite a while now. Even B6 Audi A4's have had Quatro with the 1.8T engine. Why pay more for the 3.2plus the lower gas mileage unless you can easily afford it. I sure can not. |
