A 1.4 liter engine would definitely be lighter than a 2.0 liter, allowing for easier engineering of weight balance. The current 170hp is more than sufficient for a sub-750kg car, and if that is not enough, 200hp versions of the 1.4 are already on the way.

The engine is currently available in 140hp and 170hp units, and uses twincharging - a combination of supercharging at low engine RPM and turbocharging at high engine RPM - and really precise direct injection to achieve it’s amazing power figures.

Note that by the time it is launched, the R32 might have been replaced by an R36 moniker, which means a 3.6 V6 instead of a 3.2 V6.

It’s rumoured that the Volkswagen Golf GTD will feature an upgraded version of the same 2.0 liter engine fitted with Bosch’s super high pressure Piezo injectors, and numerous other upgrades to reveal new figures of 170 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Pretty nice numbers there. Volkswagen is a company that truly believes in diesel as the way of the future as opposed to petrol-electric hybrids. They’re really focused on improving turbodiesel technology, as evident with their Volkswagen EcoRacer concept which runs a 1.5 liter TDI making 138hp, almost as much as what the standard 2.0 liter TDI makes. I wonder if the extre horsepower would be gained through twin-charging though. [...] [...] The Volkswagen Golf already has a TDI version featuring a 2.0 liter TDI engine making 140 horsepower.
