The 1991-1998 Volkswagen Golf III doesn’t have its own topic yet!

I’d love to see the following in the Forza franchise:

  • 1992-1997 Golf 2.0 GTI 16V
  • 1992-1997 Golf 2.8 VR6 (already in the game but it’s the US- spec version, not the proper Euro-spec)
  • 1995-1997 Golf 2.9 VR6 Syncro (we can kind of make this car ourselves with AWD drivetrain conversion, engine displacement upgrade and some more to get the 2.8 VR6 up to 2.9 and 190hp. It’s almost the same specs as the Corrado’s 2.9 VR6 in-game)
  • 1993 Golf A59 Prototype

Picture of the awesome A59:

AWD, manual 6-speed gearbox, 2.0 turbocharged engine with 275 hp and a wild bodykit. Would be an awesome addition to Forza!

I would like to see the Euro-spec Golf VR6 in the game instead of the US-spec:





With wide license plate space on the rear hatch so everyone can create and add their own license plates

Would like to have more normal spec golf like 1.3 1.8 1.9tdi and 5 doors hatchback body

More classic Golfs? With proper model scanning?? Yes please!

A cabrio Golf sounds like it’d be fun to drive but I can’t see these cars as anything but hatchbacks.

Would be really cool if they were able to bring in a 20th Anniversary edition but they’re probably impossible to find these days. There’s so many variants and special editions of these cars!

@T10ManteoMax Could you please add the “VR6 2.9 Syncro” in the Models pool? Is that possible?

Please vote on this car so we can get a rescanned model of the Mk3 Golf. We could get this version:

1995 - 1997 Golf VR6 2.9 Syncro


Specs:
Engine Layout: VR6
Engine Displacement: 2861 cm3 / 174.6 cu-in
Aspiration : Naturally Aspirated
Horsepower: 190 PS / 187 HP / 140 kW @ 5800 rpm
Torque: 245 Nm / 180 lb-ft / 24,9 kgf-m @ 4200 rpm
Transmission: 5 Speed Manual
Drivetrain: AWD
Curb Weight: 1340kg / 2954 lbs

Would be nice, but you can make a DIY version in Forza by increasing the engine size and tuning the engine to 190hp, adding AWD and adjusting the gear ratios. I just can’t find the front/rear diff adjustments. It makes it a good car though for off-road/dirt races!

1995 VW Golf 3 Variant 2.9 VR6 Syncro

GTD ( I think there is no R)

There is no Golf 3 “R”, but I guess you can call the 2.9 VR6 Syncro the predecessor to the R line up.
