Volkswagen, Europe’s largest car maker, showed its new TSI petrol engine (90 kW / 122 PS) along with the world’s first seven-speed dual clutch gearbox (DSG) for the compact and mid-class. These products were presented at the International Vienna Engine Symposium in April 26-27 and will be launched in the half of 2007. These products are Volkswagen’s way of continuing its drive train offensive.
TSI means maximum power accompanied with minimal consumption. This is done by mixing direct injection and turbo charging with minimal engine capacity.
The Golf and Touran can use these TSI engines, which has a power output of 103 and 125 kilowatts. The third option in the engine line-up is the new 90 kilowatts TSI.
The torque of the current 1.4 liter turbo engine is estimated 30 percent higher than the torque of the 1.6 FSI engine. The current turbo engine has 200 Newton-meters of torque at 1,500 rpm.
The TSI engine can have low-end torque gains of up to 66 percent. Consumption has been diminished by approximately 6 percent, in spite of refined performance, better VW timing parts, and improved torque characteristics.
The new VW TSI engine is patterned on its compressor counterparts that have 103 and 125 kilowatts. As differentiate to twin-charged engines, the 90 kilowatts TSI maximizes just the turbo-charger for boost, where an added compressor is not a requirement.
Meanwhile, VW has also introduced the first ever seven-speed DSG gearbox. This is another first from the German automaker. This gearbox will be used for volume models.
As compared to the six-speed DSG gearbox, the seven-speed DSG’s clutches further improves efficacy. The VW six-speed DSG gearbox gave automatic engines small amount of consumption. With the efficacy and sporty attributes, the DSG made the DSG gear boxes well known in the compact and mid class type of vehicles. A very concrete example is the DSG being ordered in almost 25 of Tourans in the market today.

German carmaker Volkswagen is known for its precision engineered cars and the performance that they bring to the table. One of the cars in Volkswagen’s lineup which gives any driver a thrilling ride is the Fahrenheit. For the 2008 model year, Volkswagen has made the Fahrenheit even more appealing and more powerful.
The 2008 Fahrenheit will be equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This same engine is also being used by other vehicles from Volkswagen and Audi. The turbocharged engine provides power when needed without the lag that is commonly encountered on turbocharged engine.
The lag happens because turbochargers are powered by exhaust gases. When a turbocharged engine is of course just starting up, the amount of exhaust gases is not enough to power the turbine of the turbocharger. But with the engine on the Fahrenheit, the design has been carefully adjusted to make sure that lag is minimal.
The said engine can produce as much as 200 horsepower and 207 pound foot of torque. The combination of the horsepower and the twisting force gives the Fahrenheit a good acceleration.
In terms of stability, the suspension setting of the Fahrenheit is designed for sports cars. With that suspension, although the ride is stiff, the car can navigate sharp corners on high speeds. With aftermarket parts such as Volkswagen cold air intake, the power can be increased and the increased power will go well with the sports-tuned suspension.
The engine is paired with a six-speed transmission which has close gear ratios which provides smooth transfer of power from the engine to the drive wheels. The precision engineered transmission works well with the engine that clashing gears inside the gearbox does not send vibrations to the body of the car.
Stopping power is provided by disc brakes for the front and the rear. For the front wheels, the Fahrenheit is equipped with 12.3-inch discs while for the rear; it is equipped with 11.3-inch disc brakes. Stopping power though is not as responsive as the engine. According to some auto journalists, the brakes only activated when the brake pedal is pushed almost to the floor.
The Fahrenheit is a limited edition vehicle which means that one would not be able to see it on a regular basis cruising around city streets. The theme used by Volkswagen on the limited edition Fahrenheit is yellow. Exterior color is yellow which makes it call for attention. The interior of the Fahrenheit is also accented with the color yellow. Although the color and its use inside and out of the Fahrenheit maybe attractive, it will not be for everyone.
According to the German car manufacturer, the limited edition Fahrenheit will have a starting price of $27,880 for the model with the six-speed manual transmission. This is aimed at performance enthusiasts who are more favorable with manual shifting than automatic ones.
The addition of the yellow Fahrenheit in Volkswagen’s lineup for the 2008 model year is expected to turn heads. Performance enthusiasts are expected to take notice, but with the color yellow plastered all over the vehicle, it is guaranteed to attract attention of the general public.
