Default 2004/2005 Passat.

This may be the new 2005 Vw Passat.

If these pictures were real, i would definitely get the passat. I've seen other pages..it said that this car would be a 2.0liter v6 with 200 hp, and the second model will be a 250hp AWD v6 or v8.

i'm quite curious how the R40 version turns out...
a w8 biturbo with cca 500hp will be most likely used there

its strange for me to look at VW in the same way as i look at bmw, or audi. i never considered them bad cars ( i love VW) just not in the same league as the other germans ( aside from the touareg wich is stunning). its strange for me to think that a VW wil have 500hp, will they be using the RS6 motor?

as far as i know they will use a biturbocharged variant of their current w8 with its displacement of 4l..
that's why it will be badged as R40

i think the W engines are an awesome idea. 2 90degree V engines offset by 15 degrees sharing the same crank. its a cool idea to save space.

off topic but, does the r32 have a vr6? i know its a 3.2litre but i dont know if its a V or VR.

yeah W engines have already proven that their usage is worthy.

i think that's an ordinary v6...vw is developing the current's vr6 successor by now which will put out 300-320 hp from 3.6l of displacement
i guess that it could appear in s3,it will be most likely used in the upcoming rs4 (but biturbocharged producing around 500 horses),it might be used in the a6,passat....

Default r32' motor

The R32's 3.2 liter 6 cylinder is a VR, 15 degrees, that is the only way it would fit.

the current passat is slowly becomming out-dated...especially its interior...it's about time for VW to come up with a successor.BTW if this is TOO futuristic how would you want it to look like.if you saw what for instance Opel wants to reveal in a relatively short time you wouldn't find it futuristic anymore.
