New Mk5 RSI?

Noting the number plate RS branding - Could this be a hint to the next installment of the performance orientated approach VW seem to be taking?

Sporting similar (if not the same) front bumper and side skirt design as the excellently titled "Thunderbunny" concept (see images blow), which debuted at the 2006 SEMA show in Vegas.

Could this of been a first peak at the new model?

 

You sure that doesn't say RSI? like the Beetle RSI

 

Yep, you could well be right!

 

Golf

Golf Rs, ??

 

The new R36?

 

I heard the R36 engine was too big to fit a Mk5, i could be wrong?????????
Does look similar to the thunderbunny

 

Let`s hope it`s a lightweight 2.0lt NA screamer !!!!!

 

that is a stunning car.

really like the look of vw's these days.

 

stunning car

 

the V6 3.6 a lot bigger the head/manifolds that the 3.2 from what I recall (not seen one for 12month! )

might be a RSI which could be anything, I'd guess as a 2L FSI chipped up bit more, possibly a the 2L TSI engine I've heard about, or even a 3.2


pity it's wearing TDI alloys

 

I hope it says RSI as opposed to RS, as RS just reminds me of Fords.

Looks good though whatever it is!

 

the new VW repetitive strain injury, quite a ring to it

 

I like!
