The 2.0 T model used a 200 - hp 2.0 - L turbocharged gasoline four cylinder engine, and the 3.2
Quattro employed a 250 - hp 3.2 - L V06 tied to a Haldex all - wheel - drive
system and VW's six - speed Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG), an automated transmission with twin computer - controlled clutches.

employed as gainfully as possible the latest incarnation of the hydraulic multi-plate-clutch-based
quattro system designed specifically for transverse engine installations oversees measured transmission to the four driven wheels.
