Product Details

2003 Volkswagen Passat W8 Wagon, finished in Silverstone Gray Metallic with a black interior. This Passat features the desirable 6-speed manual transmission and that rare W8 engine. According to the window sticker shown in the gallery, this Passat had an original MSRP of $40,775, and it came equipped with 17-inch BBS "Madras" alloy wheels, sport suspension, a power sunroof, leather upholstery, and a Monsoon AM/FM/CD/cassette audio system. Modifications are limited to paint protection film on some of the front surfaces, ahead of the rear wheel arches, and on the rear bumper beneath the liftgate.The B5.5 Passat debuted in 2001, touting significant cosmetic and mechanical updates over the prior B5 iteration. Variants with the W8 engine were only sold in the U.S. between 2002 and 2004, and sources estimate the number of manual-equipped wagon versions imported to be in either the high double digits or low triple digits. The W8 engine was named as such because of its unique configuration, being essentially two 15-degree V4s joined together at a 72-degree angle, utilizing two timing chains that drive four camshafts.Power comes from a 4.0-liter W8, rated at 270 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission and Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel drive system.
