(autoinsidernews) - At last year's SEMA show, Volkswagen debuted the Passat R GT Concept, which gathered a lot of attention for a performance version of the Passat. The positive reviews of the Passat R GT Concept prompted the automaker to offer an appearance package as an option on new Passats.
Earlier this year, we reported that Volkswagen had confirmed a Passat R36 variant, and here are the first images of prototypes of VWs hot sedan and wagon during testing at the NГјrburgring. Power will come from a 3.6L V6 delivering at least 280-hp (early rumors said 300-hp) mated to all-wheel drive, reports Trend.
We hope Volkswagen decides to bring the R36 to the States.
