    My guess: engine block weight and/or block size not leaving enough crumple zone room.

    Just received a phone call from a VW Sales Manager I currently have my name down with for this RSI/R36.

The Sales Manager is a true petrol head/enthusiast and I kind of believe him
    Make of it what you want but he stated that he is calling around the other people on this list to deliver the bad news


    This thread on tyresmoke.net was the original source of most of the info. It's a long one...
    Hopefully the above news is just to throw media off

    VW really needs to do this. 206kw in a hatch is some serious headkicking power and would start giving the speedy jap stuff a real scare!
