Does anyone have any info on:-
1. Is the upcoming 3.2 VR have an iron block like the 2.8 24v VR6 or is it all aluminium like the W8 and W12 engines.
2. Does anyone know or have some reliable forecast as to the bore and stroke on these? Traditionally, VW and Audi engines have either 81 or 82.5 mm bores, and either 86.4, 90.2 or 92.8 mm stroke. This is the 4.0 W8 and 6.0 W12 engines started a n all new 84mm bore trend. Hence, if the 3.2 has a 84mm bore it justy may very well be based on chopping up the W series engines instead on enlarging the grand old 2.8 iron block.
Thanks!
