继6.0升W12 TSI引擎之后,大众在维也纳引擎技术大会上还发布了新的1.0升TSI三缸引擎。该引擎基于现行版Polo搭载的引擎,但功率达到200千瓦/272马力,扭矩270牛米。它采用了源自Polo WRC拉力赛车型引擎的技术,采用了单涡管涡轮增压器和E-booster电子启动装置。大众负责动力总成研发的董事会成员Heinz-Jakob Neu?er表示,高性能引擎的研发最好的证明了内燃机引擎仍有巨大潜力可挖这一事实。
Volkswagen introduces high-performance 3-cylinder 1.0 engine with 272 PS
Following the new twin-turbo 6.0-liter W12 TSI engine, Volkswagen has also revealed a new 1.0-liter TSI unit at the Vienna Motor Symposium.
It is based on the 1.0-liter motor that is mounted in the current VW Polo and has a maximum power of 272 PS (200 kW) and 270 Nm (199 lb-ft) of torque. Using the “genes of the Polo WRC's rally engine”, the powerplant features a monoscroll turbocharger and an e-booster system.
Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neu?er, member of the board of management for the Volkswagen brand with responsibility for development and Volkswagen Group head of powertrain development, commented that the high-performance engine is “a nice example of just how much potential combustion engines still have in them”.
