Volkswagen to offer Passat R GT kit

Last year at SEMA, Volkswagen unveiled the Passat R GT Concept -- an appearance kit that gives the sedan a "racy and aggressive" look. According to a published report today, Volkswagen plans to begin selling the kit as a $4500 option to Passat buyers. Current owners of the new Passat will also be able to upgrade their cars with the kit. The R GT package will include 18-inch titanium-colored wheels, Pirelli sports tires, oval-shaped tailpipes, and a body kit with color-contrasting elements. More images after the jump...
