This picture is of the latest Hi-Po Golf called Golf RSI was taken from - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER blog.

What I can guess is this picture was taken at a Dealership/Model preview by VW Individual makers of the Cross & R brands within Volkswagen's model ranges.

Rumoured specs are either a 3.6 V6 or 2.0TFSI with 4Motion developing 280hp.

VW calling it the RSI is good move as this will not confuse buyers with the Passat R36 range.
Reading VW Driver magazine today - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER reveals that this model will have a very limited production run of 500 units.

It looks a little ricey in front... Will this replace the R32? Good call in naming it the RSI.

Ricey styling is from the Thunder Bunny Concept shown @ SEMA 2006 (Ricey Central)

It won't replace R32 as its a Limited Edition 500-900 to be made

I guess it will get the 3.6L V6, but the 2.0L TFSI would be also great.

Both engine would be great...maybe the 2.0 TFSI of the Audi S3 with 265hp?!

I think this could be a great combination...

...good looking car with a perfect engine!

Oh how I wish VW would do a R36 version of the Jetta with DSG!

Any word on whether this RSI will come in FWD or 4MOTION?

I'll hate them forever if they make this gorgeous looking car with 280 hp and FWD!

Unfortunately, it'd probably be FWD so as to differntiate it from the S3.

Since the R32 comes in 4MOTION, I'm pretty sure the RSI won't be an exception.
