Volkswagen Unveils Passat GT Concept — Revving It With The VR6!

The new Passat GT concept was designed and developed by the company's North American engineering hub in Chattanooga and is not based on the Euro-spec MQB-based platform.

Volkswagen has developed the Passat GT concept on the American-spec Passat which is underpinned by an older platform.

The concept Passat GT employs a VR6 engine with Volkswagen saying it previews a potential addition to the Passat line-up.

Of course, the Passat GT concept follows the GTI design language mimicking black honeycomb grille inserts with red accent lines, unique bumper treatments, black window surrounds, a black roof spoiler, LED headlamps, smoked taillights, and a dual trapezoidal exhaust.

The VR6 mill on the Passat GT concept churns out 280bhp of power with a lowered suspension and sport exhaust.

As for the powertrain, a 3.6-litre TSI VR6 churning out 280bhp tied to a 6-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic gearbox, controlled through paddle shifters behind the steering wheel.

Also, the Passat GT concept wears a 19-inch Tornado wheels cover red-painted brake calipers, and a 0.6-inch reduction in ride height.

While on the inside of the Passat GT concept, it creates a sportier impression with carbon fiber pattern-door trim.
