View Full Version : RS3 ??
In a report of a german carmagazin they have mentioned an RS3. The article was normaly about the new VW Passat. There they said, that they'll build an R32 Passat with a motor from the RS3. This one would have more than 300 hp.
Anyone knowing more about that?
greets mjrr
I think the RS3 will be built, but who knows the specs at this time?
There will be a Phaeton R60 as well. :MTM:
wow, how much power will it have???? The "normal" W12 with 6 litres displacement has got 420hp...
Very chancy from VW to build this when seeing the sales from the phaeton.

Because the have been breaking all sales records with the regular Phaeton:confused: :confused: I am sure it will be a awsome car but will it make them any money.......I doubt it. Sadly, as good a car as the Phaeton is in the end I think it will end up a financial disaster.
