The Volkswagen Group has unveiled two new petrol engines at the annual Vienna Motor Symposium, effectively ‘book-ending’ its powerplant line-up in the process.

At the Symposium, the carmaker declared that the future of the internal combustion engine will see diesel engines with increasingly higher RPM red lines, and high-performance three-cylinder petrol engines.

As if to prove that point, the first of the two new powerplants is a 1.0 litre three-cylinder TSI petrol engine producing a healthy 200kW and 270Nm.

The new three-cylinder unit is based on the EA211 engine that powered the Volkswagen up! during its somewhat brief appearance in Australian showrooms, which now boasts a ‘monoscroll’ turbocharger and an ‘e-booster’.

Volkswagen says the new engine has “the genes of the Polo WRC’s rally engine”, which displays “just how much potential combustion engines still have in them”.
