VW's Touareg To Get Well-Deserved 280-HP VR6
For those not in the know, or others who may have outright forgotten, the most basic Volkswagen Touareg is powered by a 3.2-litre 15-degree (narrow-angle) V6, known to most as the VR6. It produces 240 horsepower, and, has been used to power many other Volkswagens including the R32, Audi TT and A3 3.2 (250 hp), the European-market Passat not to mention the very rare New Beetle RSi. The VR6 has a rich history, which spanned the better part of the '90s, powering most everything from the Golf, to the sporty but long dead Corrado.
