当下，更高的功率正成为一种时尚，奔驰-AMG将推出功率不低于400马力的A级车，同样的事也发生在下一代福特福克斯RS上。现在，大众也计划推出自己的高功率紧凑车型——全新高尔夫R。据英国网站报道，下一代高尔夫R将采用“48伏轻混技术”，而奔驰-AMG和福特高性能车型也将走轻混路线，如此看来，电动化是提升内燃机功率和燃油经济性的最佳方案。大众在第八代高尔夫的开发方面将走得更远，新车将搭载EA288Evo2.0TDI引擎。与现行版柴油引擎不同的是，EA288Evo2.0TDI采用了12伏皮带轮驱动起动发电机与锂电池组相连。新车有136马力和204马力两种输出功率。

 

2020 Volkswagen Golf R Could Get 400 Horsepower From Mild-Hybrid 2.0 TSI

Fast-forward to the present day, and Mercedes-AMG is on the verge of giving the A-Class no less than 400 ponies. The same goes for the Ford Motor Company’s next-generation Focus RS. Volkswagen, meanwhile, doesn’t plan to let this opportunity slip, more so if you remember there’s an all-new Golf in the pipeline.

 

Auto Express believes that “mild-hybrid 48-volt technology could also play a role in the next Golf R.” Mercedes-AMG and Ford Performance are going down the mild-hybrid route as well, and when you think about it, electrification is the best way to assist the internal combustion engine in terms of output and efficiency.

 

 Volkswagen will be pushing things one step further with the Golf 8, which has been confirmed to add the EA288 Evo 2.0 TDI to the engine lineup. As opposed to the current-generation diesel engine, the EA288 Evo features a 12-volt belt starter-generator connected to a lithium-ion battery. Two output variants have been confirmed by Volkswagen up to this point in time, namely 136 and 204 horsepower.
