o 1.0L (yes, only 999 cc) 4-cylinder mounted longitudinally
o 16v (DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder)
o Turbocharged & Intercooled! [1.4 kg/cm2 of boost]
o 82 kW (~112 HP) @ 5500 RPM
o 155 Nm (~114 lb-ft) of torque @ 2000 RPM
o 0-100 km/h = 9.5 seconds
o As best I can decipher from the somewhat cryptic translation Babelfish offers:
+ The engine has a variable valve timing system similar to Honda's VTEC, except simpler and less expensive in design
+ The engine is fuel injected (Bosch Motronic M3.8.3) with a knock sensor and the exhaust valves contain sodium for better cooling (like Audi's turbo exhaust valves)
+ The transmission has taller 4th and 5th gears, compared to those used with NA 1.0L 16v engines
+ The turbo is an "Allied Signal G12" [the official VW do Brasil site lists it as a "Garrett G12"]
+ The car weighs only 996 kg!
+ Also notice that the exhaust is on the driver's side of the engine (not on the passenger's side, like on North American Foxes)
