VW Passat R36: New powerful Volkswagen’s on sale in UK

The VW Passat R36 is the most powerful from Volkswagen yet and is now on sale in the UK, this is almost a year after we first heard about the car. There will be two versions a sedan or saloon as they are called in the UK and a Wagon otherwise known as an estate. The new VW Passat R36 features Volkswagen’s new 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system which helps to distribute the 300hp evenly and perfectly.

VW claim that the Passat R36 will go from 0 to 100 (62) in 5.6 seconds with the wagon being just a fraction under that time and will then power up to 155 mph. The new Passet is not all about power as that would not be enough to make it a great car; the R36 has a unique body kit as well as a new chrome grille. Other enhancements include new brake calipers which give the car more stopping power as well as new 18-inch rims. To give the VW Passat R36 a sportier look there is an aluminum dash as well as matching pedals and sill plates.

The new VW Passat R36 will cost £30,990 base-price, for just a little more you could get yourself an Audi but not with 300hp. The wagon model will cost £32,150 and is worth the little extra as you only lose a little power but gain more in how much more space the vehicle has.
