Volkswagen built this Golf R (Mk6)<\/a> with a turbocharged 2.0 L FSI inline-four making approximatley 270 hp (198 kW). The owner wanted more power and the unique sound that only a VR6 can offer. So they sent it to AW Racing<\/a> in Poland where they swapped a turbocharged 3.6 L VR6. This built motor is capable of 806 hp (592 kW) and 930 Nm (685 lb-ft) of torque. They also swapped a DQ500<\/a> seven-speed automatic transmission with a Stage 1 clutch upgrade. Both the engine and transmission run on a Bosch MED9 control unit tuned by R-Performance<\/a>. The drivetrain received an upgraded driveshaft and axles while the suspension received KW DDC coilovers and H&R sway bars. AW Racing states the car reached 0-100 km\/h (0-62 mph) in 3.1 sec and 100-200 km\/h (62-124 mph) in 4.9 sec. <\/p>\n
