Fitted to the European-market Golf GT, the 1.4-liter four-cylinder uses supercharging and turbocharging to boost output, picking up on an idea introduced by Nissan on its Japan-market March. The supercharger boosts low-end response and flattens the torque curve, while the turbocharger strengthens the top end.

The Twincharger delivers 170 hp at 6000 rpm and 177 lb-ft of torque from 1750 to 4500 rpm 20 hp and 29 lb-ft more than VWs 2.0-liter FSI four-cylinder.

The result is serious pull off the line, with a sturdy 147 lb-ft of torque available from just 1250 rpm. The induction system makes the four-valve-per-cylinder unit extraordinarily responsive, extremely flexible and wonderfully linear well beyond the 2400-rpm peak where the supercharger begins to disengage
