I think it would be very hard for them to put a mid engined flat 4 into MQB chassis without significant modification to the frame and body. The chances of them putting it in the mk8 R would be highly highly unlikely IMHO.Exactly, the higher performance models, the GTS and GT4 are returning to naturally aspirated sixes. So the turbo flat fours should be spread to the rest of the VW empire. I'd assume it wouldn't be that hard to turn one sideways for the Mk8 R+.
