Volkswagen 1.4-litre TSI Twincharger

From the moment that Volkswagen’s TSI Twincharger technology burst onto the automotive scene in late 2005, it was clear to all that the technology was something special. The ability to equip a 1.4-litre engine with enough power to match a regular 2-litre was revolutionary and has since been followed by other downsized powerplants from the likes of Renault and Fiat...

...Other jurors to recognise the qualities of the TSI Twincharger are Italy-based freelance journalist Matt Davis, who commented, “This engine makes all drivers smile,” and Marc Noordeloos from the USA’s Automobile magazine: “Small displacement engines are the future and VW is ahead of the game.”
