Ickyketseddie 89 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Don't know if anyone else has seen this?? How cool would it be to see a new vr6 developed! Especially since everything's a poxy 4 pot these days! http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/scoop/vws-new-496bhp-30-litre-vr6-engine Link to post Share on other sites
Therusterman 59 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 That would be pretty cool, but with modern emission and efficiency regulations, i'd be doubtful if this made it to the VW forecourt, but i'd be happily proved wrong! Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,456 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 oh wow, that looks amazing and some good expected power there! It's about time VW do something special again, the range has been a little bland since the R32 .... Link to post Share on other sites
Ickyketseddie 89 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Well I agree I doubt we'll see a twin turbo 500hp fire spitting version hit the forecourt but if they've developed a new vr6 they'll have to use it somewhere. So surely a n/a version will appear in something. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,456 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Would be good for the VR6OC anyway. New breed of cars Link to post Share on other sites

It's about time VW do something special again, the range has been a little bland since the R32 ....[/quote']Too right, I thought that VW had stopped making na 6 cylinders since the mk5, replacing it with the turbo'd 4 bangers. I'd love to see what could be extracted out of a modern take on the vr6 though! Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Probably likely for the American or Far East market like Russia or china where emissions and mpg don't mean a thing, I've seen this from a few sources so the development must be going on, but also you have to consider all of the brands etc that make up the group, you could feasibly see this engine in a Porsche cayenne turbo and it would be an emissions and economy improvement aswell as significantly downsizing the engine whilst retaining peak figures, which is the trend now.

VR6Pete 1,456 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Exciting times. I must say. Fingers crossed its coming Link to post Share on other sites
daveyboy 897 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I'd love to see that released plus i think with the emmissions laws and all that would be fine. look at BMW theyve chopped the engine size down from a 5.0 V10 back down to a 4.0 twin turbo'd V8 o reduce the emmisions so i reckon a 3.0 twin turbo'd V6 who be fine Come on VW get it on the market NOOOWWWW Link to post Share on other sites
RBPE 198 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I e-mailed VW Motorsport about this for more info but unfortunately they didn't get back to me! Might have been the fact I inferred that they were being led by the bean counters and not developing true motorsport engines!Wonder if they took the hint to make sure that it features in the new top of the range Golf VRTT?

animal 0 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I think these days it's all about small engines with a turbo.A friend of mine said vr is making a comeback but don't think so,because of the R Link to post Share on other sites
