Passat Performance Concept

Let's all take a step back and remember that old 1.8T. It was fun, it was powerful, it hummed to the tune of about 180 horsepower..... Ahhhh.... Well that was nice. It's back. It's been changed around a bit, though, and should be pumping out something closer to about 250 horsepower. Whoa, that puts it awfully close to the bigger 3.6 VR6. Another nice touch is that this will be mounted in the Passat for it's new Performance Concept idea. We smell a DSG coming into the mix also, but VW hasn't officially announced anything.

Taking a look at the car, you'll notice that it sits on a massive set of 19-inch wheels, bolted up to a lowered sport-suspension. It will also feature Bi-Xenon headlights, LED taillights, and carbon-fiber mirror caps on the outside. The carbon-fiber continues into the interior, as well as unique two-toned seats with carbon-look inserts. NIIIIIICCCCEEEEEE!
