hadn't heard that, I know they're planning a normally aspirated 3.2, that will appear in the 250bhp Mk V R32.
I think theres a 5 cylinder 2.3 PD diesel planned, which should give 190 bhp and near 300lb ft of torque, and a 200 bhp FSi turbo petrol engine.
Engines will be confirmed nearer the launch of the GTi models, although Im disappoited we gotta wait til 2005 for them to arrive.
