Real world difference between an R36 and current model Passat V6 FSI?

[tinto]

Are the R36 brakes larger?. Seems to be a trait of any R–line car. When at the dealer I noticed (both on 18 " wheels) a set of tea cup saucers on a CC (not sure which engine) versus dinner plates on the R36.

According to the 2010 Passat, 2010 Passat CC and 2012.5 Passat Wagon brochures, the 4-cylinder models get ventilated discs front and solid discs rear, while the 6-cylinder models get ventilated discs all round, but no mention of disc diameter.

I still cant understand why there is not a R36 model in the new series!!!

It was one of the best and most popular models !

Strange that it has been deleted.....

I would have purchased one if it existed!

They havent made a decision as to what engine it will have.

I was under the impression the new R Passat would be getting that 1.8t engine. Taking a bit of a hit in the power department though.

Wow! Really??

That is great news...so any idea when we will get it in Australia?

If we're really good, they might give us something like the V6 3.0 TFSI out of the Audi S4...

I want the next R36 to be an R25, with the turbo five pulled from the TTRS, purely for the sound... nom nom nom
