The Worthersee GTI meet is fully underway in Worther Lake, Austria, and Volkswagen is continuing its reputation of show worthy reveals at the tuner event. VW has already taken the wraps off its Scirocco Nurburgring race car and the Audi TT clubsport quattro, but the German automaker also brought along a Passat R36 Variant Styling Study.
Based on the already potent Passat R36, the Styling Study takes up the car’s performance potential a notch. The R36′s 300 horsepower 3.6L V6 stays, but the new variation gets a upgraded exhaust system with larger outlets.
The R36 Styling Study rolls on 20 inch wheels borrowed from the Touareg R-Line and braking duties have been assigned to larger, six-piston Brembo units. All chrome trim has also been removed.
The R36′ interior has been modified with a pair of Recaro racing seats.
Although the Passat R36 Variant Styling Study likely won’t make production as its own model, it should be a fairly good indication of parts VW will make available for its Passat R36.
