    I owned a flashed 08 GTI for about 5 years. Wasn't nearly as powerful as this. Stage 2 REVO tune, downpipe, cat-back exhaust, and upgraded the suspension. But let me just say, that was one of my favorite cars. I paid it off with only about 50K miles on it, sold it for a good price and immediately regretted it. I loved the car. Such a comfortable and pleasurable car to drive. Awesome daily driver and for the price of a ECU tune and an exhaust system, it was approaching nearly 300whp with nothing done to the motor or the tiny K03 turbo. That tiny little turbo provided instantaneous torque.

      I love my mk6 golf R, I’m apr stage 3 apr 3” catless downpipe, IE cold air intake, full apr valvetronic exhaust, map 4 allows me to run 100 octane but I stay away from it, most it ran on the Dyno was 395 to the wheel. Its unreal

    That is an awesome car. I'm not a fan of DCT's nor am I a fan of VW's, but this is a fantastic car and I'd own it as a one-and-only car in a heart-beat. It looks like they really did a good job of making this car a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-all type setup. From a car you can take on a road trip to a car you can take to the track. Massive props to these guys - I can only imagine how much this whole setup cost...

Food for thought - you could call it "sending off with a symphony" *queue intense throaty exhaust sounds*

    “When the latest edition of the Golf R came out, the mark 6 platform 2012 and 2013, they went away with the 3.2 V6 engine that with have worked with for over a decade. They only put the 2 litre 4 cylinder in and for us torque is king and there is no replacement for displacement"
    As nice as that sounds, the Golf R with its turbo’d 4 pot has more torque than its predecessor the R32 ….
    Golf R32, 3.2 V6 (2008):
    Torque 320 Nm 236 lb-ft
    Golf R, 2.0 4 cylinder turbo (2012):
    Torque 350 Nm 258 lb-ft

      They used a 3.6L VR6, not the 3.2L VR6 that came in the R32. A 3.6L VR6 makes 385 Nm (284 lb-ft.)

So in other words I am super confused, I am afraid that the running cost and reliability will have to decide in the end, because it'll be a daily after all to replace my c class.

    Dear VW why didn't it come with a VRT from the factory? Seriously!!!

  • @7spower998
    @7spower998 8 лет назад +16

    VR6 is not a V6. VR - Vee Reihen - translated loosely to English is - Vee InLine -. Just like an IL-6, there's only one block and one cylinder head. Each cylinder block is bored one after another at 15° for the 1st. Gen or 10.5° for the 2nd. Gen to form a V formation in the engine block. This shortened the block, crankshaft length etc. Shorter crankshaft length, therefore less bending moment vs IL-6. Like the IL-6, VR6 has 7 crank throw bearing vs 4 for any V6 engine. Like the IL-6, VR6 is even firing vs V6 that can either be even or odd firing. Only the 60° and 120° V6 have even firing. A 90° V6 with a split crank pin has even firing and 90° V6 w/o a split crank pin has odd firing.

    • @TrigunX5
      @TrigunX5 8 лет назад +3

      "To form a V formation in the engine block"
      So it's a V6. All that stuff you're saying about being similar to an I6 means nothing because in its base form the cylinders for a V and are most definitely not inline.

    • @maveric0738
      @maveric0738 8 лет назад +1

      +TrigunX5 it is very very very Close to an inline 6.

    • @7spower998
      @7spower998 8 лет назад +1

      V6 cylinder block is a V form with a valley in between. While VR6 cylinder block is staggered 6 with no valley. A V6 has two cylinder heads vs VR6 one cylinder head.

    • @TrigunX5
      @TrigunX5 8 лет назад +3

      +//S POWER It's still the same argument. How do you guys look at this engine and think "this isnt a V6
      Does it have a lot of similarities to an inline? Yes
      Does it form a V with its cylinders? Yes
      There's a reason Volkswagen calls in a VR6. It literally means V-Inline 6 cylinder. Arguing that it isn't is ridiculous.

    Although it's a great car it's not really a Golf R if you're gonna swap engine and drivetrain. It's Like putting a 383 Stroker in a Honda Fit.
    Why not just build a golf R 2.0 to have insanely high horse power?
    Sooner or later they're gonna have to give up on the V6 and embrace the 2 liter turbo.

    • @RealRaynedance
      @RealRaynedance 7 лет назад

      "And for us, torque is king, and there's no replacement for displacement."
      He literally said that it was for torque reasons. If they can make a 2 liter turbo that has the same torque curve of the V6, then they'll probably use it.

    • @shortaybrown
      @shortaybrown 7 лет назад

      Global warming is real and companies cant sell huge 5,6,7 liter engines forever.
      I have faith theyll make good 400 +hp 2 liters soon.
      maybe a smaller lighter car would improve things too.... say 2600 pounds
      A 2600 pound car with 400 hp would feel like a new 3700 lb. Mustang GT with 569 hp.

      edgar pierre vr6 never dies! No but on a serious note I mean 2.0l are way lighter and are quick and have a nice rumble sound inside the car but with no aftermarket exhaust it literary just sounds like air with a turbo outside of it. Now the vr6 on the other hand screams like a T-Rex trapped in a blinder a sound you just can't resist to break your neck to look. Taking away 5,6,7,8 liter cars is not going to make global warming any slower

    temperature gauges on volkswagen group cars don't move from the middle unless you start seriously overheating or lose most of your coolant. They don't really show temperature, they are a sort of ok/not ok indicator. same applies to bmw. Up to 115°C they stay pinned in order not to worry your average customer... sad times
