!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! is pushing ahead with development of a new narrow-angle V6 direct-injection gas engine, sources from the German carmaker's engineering headquarters based in Braunschweig reveal.
Engineering for the new engine is being overseen by Volkswagen's new head of engine development, Fritz Eichler — who in a previous position led the development of the current generation of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! powerplants — continues with a swept volume of 3.0-liters and an unfashionable 15-degree cylinder bank angle. It has been conceived for transverse mounting.
But unlike the earlier naturally aspirated !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , the new engine has been designed to run forced induction, with !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! insiders hinting at a twin-turbocharged setup, as previewed on the engine used by Volkswagen's flamboyant Design Vision !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! shown at the Woerthersee fan meet in Austria in May 2013. The transversely mounted twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine used in the Design Vision !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! was claimed to boast a narrow angle design and develop 496 bhp along with 413 lb-ft of torque between 4000 and 6000 rpm.
Development versions of the new engine are described as being less heavily tuned with a specific output on par with the various incarnations of Volkswagen's turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, which suggests a power output between 340 hp and 450 hp. By comparison, the most powerful version of the original VR6, a 3.6-liter evolution used in the Passat R36, produced 295 hp.
The new VR6 is set to be used in a number of new Volkswagen models in selected markets, including replacements for the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , a production version of the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! concept, and possibly a successor to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! as well as a number of Volkswagen commercial vehicles.

If the rear of the 318ti looked like that of the Mk3 Golf's (with subtle touches such as the Hofmeister kink, lights, skirts, and rear bumper), it would have become an instant classic. That is, to say, the Mk3 Golf is a very visually appearing hatchback, and the 318ti is a BMW.
