Hmmm... possible, but I'd be surprised if that were the case... image of the engine (assuming it is relatively accurate) don't show the cooling fins that (I would expect) would be necessary for an air-cooled engine, and the article indicates the engine is half the 1.6-liter TDI used in the Euro-only Golf, which is not air-cooled. ... unless they are only saying the displacement is half... hmmm
