It will not be a production model, what a shame...

The 300-hp, 3.6-liter V6 remains, but the stock exhaust has been upgraded with a new cat-back unit sporting larger tailpipes. The front brakes have also been swapped out in favor of larger Brembo six-piston units and the wheels are 20-inchers pulled from the Touareg R-Line. All the chrome trim has also been removed and replaced with pieces that match the Passat's Moonlight Blue hue. Inside, race-ready Recaros replace the softer buckets found on the standard model, and they match the two-tone, black-and-white steering wheel, shift boot and even seat belts quite nicely. Volkswagen has made it clear that the Passat R36 Variant Styling Study is exactly what its name would imply

I saw a couple R36 in Germany in January. Probably the best looking VW ever.

Love this car. I saw one at the VW plant in Germany(with v70Rsik)..Looks simply amazing in person.

Well it's no ordinary automatic either. It doesn't have the power loss of a traditional slushbox since it doesnt have a torque converter and it can upshift faster than you ever will with a stick

I think the DSG suits this car really well. Sporty when you want it to but still luxurious and practicable when you just need to commute.

DSG = not as smooth as an automatic and not as fun as a manual, it's the worst of both worlds!! :bigup:
