History
There was a time when the ‘people’s car’ was the Volkswagen Beetle. But after years on the market, the model became outdated, and in the early 1970s demand began declining.
Volkswagen was struggling financially and the need for a change was growing.
After years of prototyping, the Golf was born. It became one of the few classless cars on the road. The model grew in popularity among everyone – even the Pope owned a Golf.
Since the first one rolled off the production line in 1974, the model has gone through seven generations.
And today it remains the most successful car in Europe. If you haven’t owned one, you without doubt know someone who has.

The Volkswagen Golf R32 (also known as the Volkswagen R32) is a hot hatch produced from 2003 to 2008. The R refers to Volkswagen's motorsport department, Volkswagen Racing. 32 stands for the engine's displacement.
The first R32 was based on the Golf GTi (Mk4) and was initially designed as a limited production variant of the Golf. Thanks to high demand, Volkswagen opted for full-scale production of the R32.
The Mk5 R32 was the world's first production car to provide an option for a direct shift gearbox (DSG) automatic transmission.
In September 2005, the Golf Mk5 R32 entered production. The 3.2 litre VR6 was revised and received a mild power upgrade. As seen on the Mk4 R32, it utilises Volkswagen's 4MOTION all-wheel drive system.
Specs:
3.2 litre naturally aspirated 6 cylinder powerplant, with 4 valves per cylinder that provides power and torque figures of 247 bhp (250 PS/184 kW) at 6300 rpm and 320 N. m (236 lb)
VR6 Engine
VR6 engines, and the later VR5 variants, are a family of internal combustion engines, characterised by a narrow-angle (10.5° or 15°) V engine configuration. Developed by the Volkswagen Group in the late 1980s, evolutions of these engines are still produced by them.
When containing six cylinders, a VR-engine's cylinder block consists of two cylinder banks (left: 1-3-5; right: 2-4-6) while there is only a single cylinder head covering both rows of cylinders.

I'm using a 60 Deegree V6 as there is no VR engine config in the game.
