MK5 Golf R32 is the last Golf to use the 3.2 VR6. MK6 Golf R was powered by a TC 2.0 IL4 engine. But performance wise, the 2.0L sump outperform the VR6 by a relatively wide margin.

VR6: 250ps, 320Nm, 6.2sec, 250Km/h

2.0 TC: 270ps, 350Nm, 5.5sec, 250Km/h

 

BTW, spotted this unicorn today, probably less than 10 units landed on our shore. Have to say the car look better and quite macho in metal. 

2nd Generation Volvo S60 Cross Country T5 AWD

 

 

 

This generation of Volvos has got to be the most sleekest Volvos.

 Maybe my new daily counts as rare? Well, considering SG laws, definitely so!

Been a while since I posted... back then had a VW Polo, in between I had another Polo, a BMW E39 525i, and now, a E46 325i and the rare one; a 1991 a Volvo 240- this is now my daily and I'm selling the E46 😁 

Long time no chat bro. When will be your next trip back to Singapore? How's things over at your end?

Your 240 look like in mint condition. How much you paid for it?

The S60 XC looks very weird.... Like from Mad Max movie. 

Now that you mentioned, it does look like one.

The rear side profile from far resemble the X4 and the car ride is quite tall. Wouldn't say it is a looker but definitely a head turner.

Tell me about it. There was a MK5 R32 near my uncle's place and quite often I get to see the owner driving it around when I was there. In comparison, the IL4 sounds panh panh (hollow).

Short and tall make the car look sportier, not really sleek per se. The 3rd gen S60 is neither here nor there (not that sporty and yet not having enough executive feel).

I has been scratching my head why I kept seeing this ad and thought my son used my phone to surf some ahem websites when I am showering. Now I can confirm not his or my problem if you also see it.

Or did you?

@Carbon82 Long time indeed bro, I am doing well. Hoping to use the VTL to come back to SG over summer, if not then March 2023 for a family wedding. I did find a place run by Msians here that does decent laksa and hainanese chicken rice so not too bad lah, something to tide me over until then!

The volvo is indeed in prtty good condition for its age - Oct 1991, swedish car until 2016 then previous owner imported it to NL when he moved back. I have the original license plate from the car too!  Best part - only 163k km on the clock, and most of them here are over 400k easily already. I sold my E39 for 2750 and picked this up through a private sale (not listed anywhere) for 5100EUR, so +/- 2500ish to step into the Volvo wasnt bad at all!

Come to think of it, the Alfa Romeo GTA and MR2 from my friends would also be pretty rare back in SG.. no idea about the Lexus or Honda though haha

Do you have any photo of its front? Trying to tell if it is a real Efini. Going by the lack of glass roof, I'm this should be Mazda RX-7 instead of the more atas (and limited) Efini RX-7.

This one should be facelifted 190E (W201) from the late 80s to early 90s.

200E or E200 (W124) look like this. Take a closer look at the grille and C pillar. 

[Heartbreakid]

@Carbon82 Nope. Didn't catch the front.
