I think that its going to be the 3.6 from the passat. They have already made the RGTI which was the 350 BHP GTI running a massive turbo with carbon fibre everywhere.

The info I've read is from owners who have ordered the car here http://www.tyresmoke.net/ubbthreads/...0/fpart/3/vc/1

280hp is possible remember Audi sell the S3 with 265hp

Well if 2.0T produces same power as 3.6 V6 and weighs less, then why not

Also on VWvortex a poster posted that the 3.6 V6 does not meet Euro crash regulations in MkV body
