There are some powerplant exchanges happening between Volkswagen and Audi such as that between the Golf and Scirocco R20T models that come with a powerplant that will boost the power yield on the Golf to better compete with a 300hp Focus RS and a 250 hp Megane Renault Sport if these already exist.
The German carmaker has been evaluating the Golf and Scirocco R20T versions over at the Nurburgring circuit using a 2.0 liter twin-turbo engine that is expected to produce around 300hp also.
