VW: R line roundup

Here's a nice roundup about VW's new R line packages. Enjoy!

R models as an example: The “R36” premiered in Essen represents the most powerful Passat of all time. It is powered by a 220 kW / 300 hp, 3.6 liter six cylinder direct injection gasoline engine (3.6 FSI). As part of standard equipment power transmission is handled by a direct shift gearbox (DSG) and permanent four-wheel drive (4MOTION). At 250 km/h the top speed is electronically regulated. In terms of speed, the Passat R36 outstrips every other Volkswagen in accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h: the sedan reaches the 100-km/h mark in 5.6 seconds (5.8 seconds for the Variant).
