VW Passat R36 Styling Study in Worthersee

Enough fresh metal to make any major international motor show blush, VW has amazed the crowd at this year's GTI meet at Wörthersee Austria today with the Audi TT Clubsport Quattro, Golf GTI Performance Concept, Audi A3 TDI Clubsport Quattro and the Scirocco GT24 race car as the finale.

Also presented, the Passat R36 Variant Styling Study by Volkswagen Individual remains the same besides a “few” modest improvements such as a 20mm lowered suspension, 20-inch wheels from the Touareg R-Line, 6 piston Brembo brake calipers, sounds optimized exhaust system with 81mm in diameter aluminum exhaust tips with beveled edges. For the exterior all chrome trim has been removed and replaced with matching dark blue trim. The interior has received Recaro race seats in the front with matching two-tone rear bench, steering wheel and shift boot plus miscellaneous dark blue and chrome applications.
