acceleration may be not as good as you'd imagine because oil burners have a smaller band (usually in the low rpms) where all the torque is available.

but 0-100 in 8.1s from a 2.0 diesel (that produces 170bhp!!) is pretty impressive already.

for comparison, a decently tuned 2.0 petrol (non turbo) should put out around 150 to 155bhp.

kudos to vw!

The new Gold just gets more and more interesting.

awesome car of a great legacy….funny though..with its high torque and power…I expect the top speed and acceleration to be better…probably the weight…
