I'm sure i read something on this forum before about it... maybe not a R32 sound... but different sounds...
I love the Porsche sound.. a V6... but a deep roar rumble... not like the R32

A V6 has 2 banks of 3 cylinders with 2 cylinder heads. A VR6 has i bank of 6 cylinders and 1 cylinder head.
Read the Wiki article, explains it better tbh.

The original Cayenne V6 Engine was the VR6 3.6 lump, but they have now changed it to the 3.0 V6 engine from the touareg, which is a 90 degree V6. But they are both V6's even if the VR6 lump is a narrow angle - 15% I believe. The only difference being the VR6 has a single cylinder head - very clever desgn to be fair.

1) You cannot make a 4-pot sound like a 6-cyl, FAIL
2) Porsche engines are not V6s, they are flat-six engines and have been since the war, FAIL
3) The VR6 - with, as Oli points out, a 15* v-angle - is more like an inline six than a true V6 with a 90* v-angle. This allows for a very compact 6-cylinder where a traditional inline 6 or V6 would not fit. The firing order is also more akin to an inline six than a V6. As such it is incorrect to consider the VR6 as a true "V" - more as a subset of "inline" 6. Volkswagen AG does have traditional V6 engines amongst its lineup though; the 3.6 V6 is a proper V engine as I recall. So, somewhat less, but still FAIL
4) I think we've covered everything.

Nice one mate. So it is a V6, just not a fully fledged one :signLOL:
