It's got 140 hp and the torque is 240 Nm, compared to 235 Nm in the Golf/Jetta/Passat VR6. Not a heck more IMHO. Oh, peak torque happens @3200 rpm in the EV compared to 4200 rpm in the G/J/P. That helps more! > Yes, the TDI does beat the > VR6 on bottom end torque, Not the 90 hp! 202 Nm vs 235 NM in the VR6. Of course, the rpm comes in again, I don't know what torque the VR6 got @ 1900 rpm. The TDI makes about 180 Nm @ 4000 rpm. PerL 87 Syncro 112i |
