Volkswagen Group Malaysia has announced they've added a third TSI engine to the range offered with the new Beetle coupe. Sitting between the existing base 1.2 TSI and the 2.0 TSI is a 1.4 TSI four-cylinder mill, offering 160 PS at 5,800rpm and 240 Nm of torque.
Your only gearbox choice is a seven-speed DSG transmission, which allows the Beetle to go from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 207 km/h.

The bad new is that if you really want a Beetle 1.4 TSI, you've got to want it bad, because it starts at RM 180,000, equivalent to $58,500 or €45,000. Standard kit includes 17-inch Spin ally wheels shod in 215/55 tires, Vienna leather seats and the RCD510 touchscreen radio CD player with eight speakers.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
