Does anyone know how VW have improved the economy as well as increasing the power? They are quoting some crazy MPG figures for a 300BHP car... which IMO is one of the main reasons its more attractive than a Mk6 R.I'll be test driving one when they are available and the early issues show no teething issues (which are inevitable on a new car)
Another improvement includes the addition of indirect injection to supplement the FSI direction injection system when operating under partial load. By utilizing this feature, this lowers consumption and particulate emissions, balancing the direct injection system that is utilized more efficiently at startup and under higher loads.
I'm sure I read a while ago that it'll have indirect injection as well as direct injection oh and they have a plastic sump

Got to remember that this is the second fastest hot hatch out there at the moment round the ring, so it is an impressive machine out the box.
what after the A45 AMG?
