The history of the 'Passat' which began in 1973 ends provisionally with the 'Variant' in 2006. Since the eight-cylinder- engine version of the VW Passat could not establish, they returned to the transverse- engine model. This does not necessarily mean a step back, considering the six-cylinder engine which is the most powerful at the moment with it`s 184 kW (250 HP) and 3.2 litre cubic capacitiy. Nevertheless, costs are saved because VW is drawing near to 'Golf ' technology again. 04/10
