We can no longer hear all the complaints about modern cars. Despite the fact that we are often the authors of these complaints ourselves.
Therefore, today there there be no confusion about downsizing, exhaust emission standards, MHEVs, PHEVs, SREVs, diesel particulate filters. We will not mention a word about cars that have been castrated with a blunt tool in order to save a teaspoon of fuel in the WLTP test. We forget about it, at least for a week.
Why? Well, VW - the last brand from which we would expect it - in 2021, under the hood of one of the most popular crossovers in Europe, puts the engine and drivetrain from the Audi S3. So much for the theory. And the practice? Two liters of displacement, 300 horsepower, 0-100 km h in just 4.9 seconds. Could VW engineers decide to put the standards, the European Commission, exhaust emissions and eco-pea coal deep into... the exhaust system?
