New VAG 3.0 TFSi

[Makefish]

Imagine the tuning potential :drool:

Should be interesting for sure!

Should be good for 420+ bhp! :drool:

[Hedge]

Me confused. In the link above they say it is supercharged but the engine offensive document link on that page they refer to twin-turbo.

:confused:

[Makefish]

The point is, when will Skoda be allowed to get their hands on it? VW will get it first after Audi and it will be interesting to see what they do with it, could it be the new GTi powerplant? If so does this mean the Octy vRS will get it when the new model is launched in 2010?

[DanGB]

I think its a longitudinal engine, so will only fit in the big audi's/VW's

[Sporky McGuffin]

They have a new 2.0 TFSI too - 208bhp, 250-something torque and over 40mpg. That sounds far more interesting to me.

Just imagine if they put it in a mk1 Octavia vRS shell.... what a car that would be.

The guy that I ordered my new Octy from on Saturday has been to Portugal to play with a 3litre 4wd Superb.

Draw your own conclusions!

Yup, 90 degree V6 is never gonna fit transverse.

The in-house launch of the Superb for sales execs / dealership staff was in Portugal over the past few weeks (depends on the dealership rota when they individually saw it).

The 4wd (haldex) varient was then new 3.6 VR6 derivative. (a la Passat, and mechanically the Porsche Cayenne etc etc)

Normally aspirated (no forced induction; turbo or SC)

[Tech1e]

I saw a new Superb on the way over to Bengies in Oxford the other day, tried to get a picture but some Fabia driver got in the way whilst changing lanes for the sake of it.

Looks like a Renault from the back, and IMHO thats not a good thing.

[vRS Carl]

Hmmmm id like the 4.0 TFSI thats going in the S7 now that would be Awesome in a vRS

[bengie]

so all of you here that want a large engined multi turbo'd skoda please could you tell the rest of which of the enw breed of skoda's have longitudinal engines?

Erm, Erm, Erm, none?

[sms]

also think of the insurance on it too if its stuck into a octy as a mod.

[lozgti]

Is anyone going to buy big engined cars in the UK anymore?

[bengie]

i will, buy a pre 2001 540 instead of your 2008 octavia 2.0 fsi and it'll take you a hell of a long time to even out, if you ever do and the 540 will be far faster, higher spec'd and more comfortable.

[Makefish]

But it'll still be a 'BMW' :P

...............and a seven year old one at that!
