I read an article today about the 2019 VW Golf 8. They want to use an 1.0 liter 3-cylinder engine with electric turbo. Because at low rpm, the small engine doesn't have enough exhaustgasses to power a conventional turbo. They also want to integrate a flywheel system, variable compression, full wheel covers and 'engine off coasting-technology' (which we all know). They are also thinking about a four-seater XL1, which will be called the XL2.
