Another witty Volkswagen advertisement video, this one advertises the small yet potent Volkswagen Golf GT equipped with the 1.4 liter TFSI twincharged engine.
Video after the jump.

How did they do that!!! That was awesome!!!!!

Very good approach for an advertisement to demonstrate the potency of the Volkswagen Twincharged 1.4 Golf GT.
Although displacement is only 1.4 liters, a supercharger and turbocharger are used sequentially to power it from 0-62 mpg in just 7.9 seconds. Not bad compared to the Golf GTI’s 7.2 second time.
This makes for an economical yet powerful package at a more affordable pricetag.

Very clever! Gets the message through loud and clear!

Huh!! The frog really unlucky!

Woah!!! I couldn’t believe 1.4L to produce 140hp until i read this post…
Anyone know the maintenance cost for 3 years running ?
what i means those unique DSG Clutch Plate, Turbo, Supercharger, or any other special belt ?
what about thier life span ? like how many KM had to change new…..

Actually, the Golf 1.4TSI pumps out 170hp and 239Nm (coming in at a low 1750rpm). It still returns 39.2mpg.
The Touran will come with a 140hp variant.

VW and Audi commercials are simply the best!

nice commercial, but in reality hatchbacks are not selling well in UK now, not sure if this will stop that trend

“Woah!!! I couldn’t believe 1.4L to produce 140hp until i read this post…”
100hp/litre isn’t that big a deal for forced induction engines … e.g. the EVO FQ400 … 400hp from 2 litres= 200hp/litre, and you haven’t even taken into account the 3rd-party extreme modders who squeeze 700hp from a 2.5L engine …

But did you see that comparison between a Skoda and the FQ400 when they compared rolling start in 5th gear? After 1.4 miles the EVO still can’t overtake. You won’t have that issue with the Golf GT.
