@@krudmuphinstudioz The term VR is a VW invention, and did not exist in the earlier Lancia iteration of these engines.

BMC's Duncan Stuart developed an experimental Lancia-inspired 18-degree SOHC V4/V6 engine family that used a toothed rubber belt to drive a centrally-mounted camshaft, being conceived at the behest of Leonard Lord from about 56-58 (who wanted to replace BMC's various engines with a common engine family - the later E-Series being conceived for a similar unrealistic purpose) before being cancelled in late-62. The V4 was tested in a 1.1 and 2.0 forms (in the likes of the MGA, first MGB prototype and possibly even one A40 Farina in 1.1 form), though the V6 remained a paper project. The BMC 18-degree V4/V6 project however was dropped because of its alleged bulk/weight, inability to be mounted transversely in the upcoming FWD 1100/1300 and 1800/2200 (only longitudinally Triumph 1300 style - unlike the VW VR6), reputedly sounding rough by MG engineer Syd Enever who disliked the uneven exhaust note of the V4 configuration, being too costly to develop (and the cost of requiring a thorough refit of the Longbridge engine production facilities) as well as once the A-Series engine proved capable of being enlarged from 948cc to 1098cc (later 1275cc).

Sound from VR6 is awesome. I wonder why WV is not using this design today, instead of V6, it would be their signature. Of course with turbo, in audi RS series :-)

I believe they shelved it for emissions reasons and went the direct injection route.

@@MrTheHillfolk hmm I don't think this engine layout couldn't be direct injection & turbo from factory. I was thinking about modern engine with this layout.

Almost balanced, compact and only have a single cylinder head with 6 cylinders. The VR6 is underrated.

So miss my excellent car that even made it into the Euro tuner magazine in the late 90s. I had MK4 Rave Green 2.8L VR6 excellent, manual shift, lowered,heated and leather seats,new headers,cold air intake, full exhaust, 18in BBS rims, carbon fiber hood glass HID headlights leather interior much more more just magazine talk lol. Euro tuned up batch's, shaded black back taillights. My challenge is only the nice R32 3.2L VR's in races. ✌️

When I bought my Corrado a couple decades ago I knew from its earliest G60 problems that it was destined for the swap I still have my 92 but it's a 97 GTI under it all Maybe when I retire I'll do the turbo Quattro conversion but it'll always be a sweet sounding VR6

I owned two of these, a '92 Corrado SLC with 2.8 liters and 178/190* hp [190 after my mods], and a '97 Jetta GLX with 174 hp and a fucking slush pump automatic transmission. -These engines are HOOLIGANS! Their sound and they way they develop power entice you to drive them hard. Sure, the four cylinder turbos can be way faster, but the VR6 is one that seems to say to you: "Come on baby...What about another 1000 rpm; Don't you want to hear my sweet voice? Let's EAT THAT FUCKING HONDA~!" Volkswagen's best engine EVER. When this came out, I thought there would be about 5 Japanese copies within 10 years, but only one very small motorcycle company has tried this design, which is puzzling since it is ~~PERFECT~~ for a full dress cruiser bike. Great video as always!
