Looks orrible compared to the VR6 engine, I wonder if they did any late ones? The VR engine came in in 1991 (?) so maybe there is a big bumper version with the 'proper' vr in it.
I thought this was quite interesting, found on another forum: The original VR6 prototypes were 24V, with a 2.4l displacement. VW opted for a bigger displacement rather than 12 more valves to cut costs in the production VR6 Corrado (Scirocco Mk3): RV6: In a Mk2 Golf, looks like the VR6 swap was done by VW after all: Anyone know more about these early designs?
The Rallyes have some indentation on the chassis to accept the VR6 engine, whereas the Mk2 Golfs don't. Unsure whether the big tunnel G60 shell has it too, but I suspect it has.
I cant recall about the 2wd G60's, but the G60 syncro's do, and see as though the front chassis legs are shared between the two I would think it reasonably safe to assume so
'due to be introduced into the 1988 scirocco' blimey 175bhp in a rocco that would have been something else the golf looks to be running on digifant 2 or a close derivitive, check the afm out. thank god they binned it before the VR6
Read that thinking "VR in a Mk1 chassis from the factory - fook!" Turns out they're talking about the Mk3 'rocco, aka the Corrado. Makes a lot more sense!
they do, g60's and rallyes are based on passats, which had the vr6 before the golf vr6 came out. they also have the stiffening members in the chassis legs as per the US spec cars.
Makes sense. IMO, the G60 FWD car is a Syncro without the different boot floor. The rest of the Syncro / Rallye shell underpinnings (ignoring the Rallye panels) are there. Partly why I got agreement to ban those G60 shells from the Mk2 Golf race series, as they must be a lot stiffer.
