Beetle: Now With Added Poke

IN VW, Volkswagen, Beetle, TSI

VW Singapore bolsters the Beetle range with a more powerful 1.4 TSI twincharged engine that packs 160 bhp.


I must admit though that I took sometime to warm up to the car. Getting into a huggy Recaros for one, was a bit of a squeeze, and I'm not, er… horizontally challenged. I never had this problem with the old car, and I remember it being a lot roomier up front. But let's not jump the gun and focus (sorry, had to do it) on the new car.

Lamborghini Aventador Gets New Wheels And More

German exotic tuner Wheelsandmore fettles with the Lamborghini Aventador and brings up the already mad Italian one notch higher!


Audi also offers the same engine that powers the two TT RS models in the RS 3 Sportback – due to arrive in Singapore next quarter. It takes 4.6 seconds to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h – a best-in-class performance figure. Its governed top speed is 250 km/h. Audi Singapore has been receiving orders for the car even before its launch. This is the seventh category win in a row at the International Engine of the Year Awards for Audi TFSI technology and the second year in a row that the Audi 2.5 litre TFSI has won the award. Between 2005 and 2009, the Audi 2.0-litre TFSI engine has won the award in the 1.8 to two litre category.

Audi Wins International Engine Of The Year Award 2011 For 2.5-litre TFSI

IN Audi, Engine, TFSI, 2.5 Litre

A jury of 76 international motoring journalists has voted the Audi 2.5 litre TFSI as the “International Engine of the Year 2011” in the two litre to 2.5 litre category.


The new TT RS now comes with a seven-speed S tronic dual clutch transmission, as compared to its predecessor that only received six gears. The top speed is still electronically limited to 250km/h, but it takes the coupe 4.3 seconds to do the 0-100km/h sprint, as opposed to 4.6 seconds.

The Audi TT RS's Seventh Heaven

IN Audi, TT, TT-RS, Coupe, Roadster, TFSI

One extra gear for the TT, one big step for fuel efficiency.


Each Audi RS model represents the pinnacle of its model line - the Audi RS3 Sportback, developed by quattro GmbH, now brings this dynamic philosophy to the compact category. It rockets from a dead stop to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h. The guttural roaring and growling, backed by the signature rhythm of the five-cylinder firing order make up the classic Audi soundtrack. A sound flap in the exhaust branch intensifies the sound even further. The flap is controlled via the standard Sport button, which also varies the engine response.

Audi launches RS3 Sportback

Blazing performance, compact size. Audi has added a new model to its dynamic RS series: the Audi RS3 Sportback.


In summary, apart from the limited storage space, relatively spartan interior and the hype that this car generates in public, the Tesla Roadster Sport with its exotic look and super car slaying acceleration is truly one amazing car to drive. And best of all, this car does not require any visit to the petrol station or service and maintenance associated with internal combustion engines (I.C.E), all one needs to do is just plug the car to any conventional electrical outlet when the ‘juice’ needs topping up, and he or she is good to go once the car is recharged. Plus you also get to do your part in saving the earth!
