Nothing great for a race-tuned 2l turbo engine...

510nm might seem like a lot, but don't forget diesels have quite a limited rev range and very short gear boxes so that seemingly unlimited amount of torque will eventually manifest itself in shot bursts of power fragmented by gear changes.

Man, in the interest of marketing, they should ditch all their other racing efforts and focus on creating single model championships based on their many "special" niche models: Golf +, Caddy, Touran, Phaeton. That way, they always win!
