HPA Motorsports is no stranger to the VR6, nor are they a stranger to the pages of Performance VW, having been featured countless times over the years (and one of our Performance Partners!). Their newest creation, part of their VR550T Program, is what this author would consider the perfect daily. Adding a ~550HP DDKA VR6 into a long-roof Golf Alltrack is a recipe for fun.
This German-built engine was made for the Chinese market VW Atlas called the Teramont. Lighter than the North American 3.6L found in the Atlas, and overbuilt for the poor fuel quality, this was a good candidate for putting the VR back into the R. Even Wolfsburg saw the potential as they fit a version of this engine on the Arteon R concept car however this was sadly ditched in the Arteon for the 4-cylinder.
