I don't think I've ever seen an R32 in white but I imagine it's a great colour for the car, now I am trying to visualise it...

very much doubt you'd have an advantage at launch as they are 4WD

rev to 5k or 6k and dump the clutch

talk about mechanical sympathy :eek: i'll remember your advice when i "borrow" your mazda

Bet it couldn't keep up with a transit van :P

nah, that'll blow the box up, not the strongest apparently :(

My mates got a lovely blue 3dr R32, the sound is second only to the Alfa V6, so that means it sounds awesome.

They really are very quick and feel absolutely planted on the road, I'm seriously considering buying it off him when he sells it, apparently the dealer told him the engines are built by hand by an outside tuning company and run in on the bench, think he said they were called 'Otto' or something? he did show me the little plaque on the engine but cant remember if was Otto or something similar, either way they supposed to be a highly regarded engine builders.

Oettinger?

believe there is a beetle rs which is r32 powered !!!! now no one would expect anything close from a beetle .......... would upset loads

The Beetle RSi does have R32 running gear. Ltd edition, LHD only, cost around £50-60k

VAG Tech have a twin turbo one at the moment as a demo car. Its clutch blew up outside APS when it went down there for wheel alignment recently...oops.

And is seriously UGLY.......................

:eek: the beetle rsi is lush!!!

I love em... (R32's that is, not Beetles...)

Heard one today just pulling off moderately fast - they sound is great.

Here is a stage 3 AMD tuned one against an Audi S4 - soundly beaten, but doesnt do too badly!

Not really suprising, even tuned the R32 is giving away a fair bit on the grunt of a bi turbo V6.

A friend asked AMD about supercharging his R32 and was told there is no kit available for RHD cars. LHD ones can be supercharged though.
