    Default VW R50 Announced

    Keeping with the theme of diesel power, the VW R50 will be announced next week in Sydney, but sadly we will likely never see this vehicle in north america. I cant wait to see the numbers though as it says it has a generous increase in power and torque from its already 313hp/553tq

    Looks great, but I swear NA misses out on all the good cars.

    And WTF is with that white stripe down the middle of the photo?

    Well the R50 is the .:R version of the Touareg, just like
    R32 - Golf Gti
    R36 - Passat

    white stripe is just an artistic thing i suppose. but we will never get any of the r's here.

    Yah that was the Touareg R Line, I believe it was asian market or something like that, but the full out R is even better. Quite dissapointing we get no R's here, but I suppose the price would be quite high and even I would consider many cars before it.

    i dont know, id have a pretty tough decision between the Cayenne Turbo and that if it has the same/close power specs.
