VOLKSWAGEN GOLF III VR6
THE COUP OF THE GTI!
Version Flagship Golf III VR6 Seemed to repeat The Stroke Of The Golf GTI . Namely, Introduce a new concept Called to do next in school buddies. In 1976, The GTI WAS Carrying out a brilliant synthesis Between family sedan and sports. 15 Years Later , The VR6 Performs The Same synthesis, aim at High Level …
PRESENTATION
It Is now a ritual, VW Golf III IS Presented at the Frankfurt show in September 1991. The family spirit IS Kept to mark The Relationship Between Generations, But The Golf III Provides more Aesthetic Differences Compared To The That II HAD Been The box calculated previously. immediately available in 3 and 5 Doors, The Golf III Offers Two versions sporting The GTI features a 115 hp 2-liter VR6 and a sumptuous With A 6-cylinder V! icts With new Golf, VW Is The first was to manufacture “under the hood of a compact 6-cylinder engine. Trying to create a niche in a market Where It Makes No Longer the Difference With His usual model, The GTI, VW Will Successfully innovate again in terms of concept to Be Left Without real competition. With historical experience “GTI” when Launching The Third Generation of icts flagship model, VW, sniffing the air time, wondered about a concept capable of firing again over icts model of competition. After the small sport sedan of the 80s, The Compact Road Seems To Be The Trends for The Decade Ahead. Beyond the technical challenges, The Challenge IS Even More daring business. In France Where the tax Does not like big cars, Trying to impose a V6 In The compact family segment Is A Real Marketing Challenge! Goal No matter, Other markets (Germany, UK, USA …) Enough to VW for profitable investment and Then The VR6 Is Only The Beginning of a long program of Democratization. In Both petrol and diesel, it gradually over Itself Will Find The Entire range and Other Brands In The VAG group. Until 1998 The range of sports Golf III Will Remain Unchanged.
ENGINE
Before There Was The 6 and V-6 online. Two Technical Solutions are difficulties to implementation in a compact sedan like the Golf. In the 50s, Lancia HAD Developed a very compact V-engine With An angle of 13 ° ultra closed. Taking the So Much Inspired Concept Lancia history to new mechanics, The V-engine has closed all The Benefits That VW research: narrow, small moving masses and well balanced. The work Thus Was Born VR6 (V pour la provision, R for “Reihe” Which means clustering “line”, and 6 As The number of cylinders). Some design tips Will Improve this idea. The unique cylinder head covers for example Arranged The cylinders in staggered rows. The year of study as the original engine and Its Reliability Will Still Apply 10 Years of research to VW … The Result is however Very interesting. icts In first version of 2.8L With A yoke only 2 valves per cylinder, and it 174ch Delivers Already a comfortable pair of 24.5 million kg of Which 80% of this value ( 20 million kg) are available from 1200 to 6500 rpm! So much of What To Offer The Flexibility Of The caractéristique V6. Not to mention icts sound, smooth melody That Flatters Every revving you ears. On the Synchro Equipped With AWD, We Have a variant of a right to 190 hp 2.9-liter VR6 This Is Even More Than The smooth and torquey at low revs pulling. And There’s Always The Sound …
PERFORMANCE
Here we Enter the world of super sports: 225 km / h chrono peak (235 km meter), 28 seconds per kilometer DA, Revivals cannon … Not only is beautiful as The Accomplished and, in addition to it cold Advances and Many So-Called-styled sports GTi. With his box well staged and Cx Improved Golf VR6 WAS quick to put the record straight. There Is No Need To downshift to renewed the Rhythm And That’s The Strength of the VR6. The covers are excellent and Outstanding driving pleasure and unique In The category. Only the Performance Of The VR6 flats: The Weight of 1.21 T Which penalizes consumption. Indeed, it is this point aussi Exceeds all GTI VR6 market. The tank Does not allow too small a range of real road. Goal what a luxury to drive a 6 cylinder! Despite The apparent gentrification of STI tests have VW Golf icts Once Again That Is Able to Hold The rank of true reference. When in 1995 The Golf VR6 receiver AWD, VW Reiterates icts intention to hunt you The land of The Most Prestigious Manufacturers now it has In The crosshairs.
So Called VR6 Syncro 2.9 liter VR6 Is The 190 hp VR6 Corrado cut Fitted Which Is On The mounted Golf. It Must Be Said That The Weight Because Of The AWD System is mounted at 1.4 T and 190 hp are not too many “. Despite The gain of 16 hp and a torque mkg, The Power to weight ratio IS Declining (7′ve Against 7.2 kg / hp). So, not to Be Too Much To The punishment in relation to traction, Volkswagen has put a short box. If The trick works well In The 400m standing start was in traction in by With All Other measures, The Syncro IS behind. Purpose is this version, mind Seems increasingly far GTI, VW and BMW IS definitely closer to Mercedes With A luxury and well said. MoreOver, Many options CAN turn this Into a real jewel Golf III (leather, air conditioning … ). She Become the star of new wide GTI. Only a bit high price has limited potential buyers, to In The category of 6-cylinder Is Still a good deal of time, Even If Some Subaru Impreza GT Turbo unknown Among Us Will Win Quickly this niche.
CHASSIS
The chassis, a bit too soft Which, IS efficient and hassle-free cash of 174 hp and 24 kgm of torque. This “more frames”, says Volkswagen, is Not a quick hustle. The front has a Specific geometry, The reinforcement of has a stabilizer bar and power steering and a locking differential EDS That uses Electronically Controlled Of The ABS components to act as traction control. The Result is Surprisingly Effective Because The traction is excellent & the steering torque steer Does not Suffer, Even in hard acceleration . The Behavior Of The VR6 Abile Is A blend of comfort and sportiness. Obviously, this kind of compromised CAN NOT Overall Satisfy everyone to everyone Will find something to enjoy. The Lowered ride height and damping gas filter Out The Inequalities and Contains the correct body movements. encamped one 205mm wide tires and Taking Up the Braking System Of The broad Passat VR6 The Self Is A safe and easy. This Is The Most Certainly not fun to drive Because reactions are very neutral history, Taking roll “still tolerant and sensitive little ABS. Goal This Is Not The Will of VW Primarily Because It Is The Sought WAS compromised. In 1995, while The Four wheel drive cars Have struggled to Convince VW Golf VR6 icts range one Equipped With this type of transmission and named “Sync”. for Many fans of this legendary for, The Arrival Of The all-wheel drive Could Be A Good Thing.
Finally The results are mixed. The transmission system inherited Rally From The Golf is Not really full goal variable. Golf VR6 Syncro Is A pro- wheel drive “not permanent”. It Is So thats the front Overwhelmed Is So thats the couple IS Reported back. In normal circumstances, like Driving the tension there … Is So Good The fault for this simplistic and based Economical transmission was acting viscous coupling locking center differential as-a-And That. If straight, The sensations are good, It Is Quite different curves and bends. Golf sorely Lacking When The Transmission Efficiency and Quickly Finds Himself Overwhelmed . In short, Even If she Deserves To Exist, this drive System is Far From Being on top. It Is Intended to conduite Rather quiet Which is strange for a four-wheel drive! It Should Be Noted That It aussi Is Only 5-door And The tank capacity has Increased from 5 liters to Compensate For the excess appetite. The finish is perfect as always and Generous With Volkswagen options. The Electronic climate control work Thus WAS standard. It cost 182.900 francs at the Time to buy this because after all homogeneous and easy to drive. Given The equipment, engine and transmission semi-full, It Was Still a good investment.
CONCLUSION
Far from Being a monster Against Nature, The Golf VR6 Itself as The Most Complete range. Fully digested by A Suitable Frame, The 6-cylinder Provides acceptable performance and first class. Standard equipment IS Generous And The Golf Will Give You Much Pleasure Every Day . If The VR6 version Synchro Seems less recommendable, then this is not a purchase to avoid. It Will serve you if you live in difficult areas. In short, The Volkswagen Golf III VR6 Is A Buying Opportunity in attractive Provided More Than They Are Careful When Choosing. Avoid Models That Have Been Too Many owners and importé Those from Germany, Whose History is Often obscure.
