From Car mag-
Volkswagen has showcased two advanced sets of technologies at its technical presentation in Wolfsburg, Germany.

The first is a 200 kW 2,0-litre turbodiesel (TDI) engine based on the EA288 unit but featuring electric turbocharging, a new variable valve timing system and a 2 500-bar common-rail direct injection system. The maximum torque figure was not officially disclosed but it was said to expect more than 600 N.m ? impressive for a 2,0-litre.

The other is a new 10-speed, dual-clutch transmission (DSG) that could be coupled to a wide range of Volkswagen engines.

Both the above technologies will play a vital role to lower CO2 emissions while providing the performance customers expect according to Volkswagen.

The introduction date for the above technologies is set for 2016.

Bicycles have had 10 speeds for years, I'm hoping this move to a 10 speed dsg isn't pointing to something  :D
