Very decent sound! Considering it's coming out of a Passat!

What Passat comes with a W8 anyway and why I'm only finding out about it now?

It's a b5.5 w8, it's also a throw away engine, VW do not manufacture components for it anymore. It's something like 250kg heavier than a 540i and only 270bhp.
Plenty of them on the continent usually in 4motion variants.

There's always different variations of cars sold abroad then ever make it to our shores :crying:
