Detroit 2008: Volkswagen Passat CC to launch TSI engines in US market {Autoblog Green}

Feb 15th 2008 2:24AM TThe CC has the regular 2.0TFSI engine --- not a dual-charged engine.

TSI has become a marketing term (similar to quattro or 4Motion) that at times now also is applied to the 2.0TFSI. For example, in the new Tiguan --- which clearly has the 2.0TFSI engine, albeit a bit modified for yet larger, lower-end torque.

And the new dry-clutch 7-speed DSG is limited to around 180ft-lbs of torque, and thus is not applied to the 200hp/207ft-lbs 2.0 engine.
