Volkswagen has already revealed the sporty-ish midsize sedan that will be available for the upcoming 2018 model year. The road-going model will stay true to the concept before it. You may have forgotten about the Passat GT concept but it looked like a GTI version of the sober sedan. It had a black grille with red accent lines, a more aggressive body kit, and sportier seats. The powertrain didn’t receive any updates though, sticking with the normal Passat’s VR6 enginewith 280 hp and 258 pound-feet of torque. It had a dual-clutch automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. When it was shown, Volkswagen said that the idea came from feedback from dealers and consumers.
Volkswagen has announced that it’s working on a new six-cylinder turbocharged engine for the Euro-spec Passat’s hotter sister, the Arteon, and that it might end up in the Atlas three-row SUV currently offered with the aforementioned VR6.
