CC Performance

The CC is VW's sport/luxury coupe (with 4-doors), and so it has a few sport features thrown into that mix of luxurious amenities. One of which is VW's famous 2.0 TSI engine. The same engine used in our performance oriented GTI. It sports a whopping 200 horsepower and 207 pounds of torque out of a tiny, fuel efficient four cylinder. Whats really nice about it is the direct-injection technology. Fuel is atomized directly into the combustion chamber for a more even burn, providing better fuel efficiency and more low-end torque; something VW is famous for! Torque is that passing power, that force that slams you into the CC's bolstered sport seats as you accelerate. Couple this engine up with VW's Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) transmission, and you've got a little rocket that will fly through every gear shift in less than one tenth of a second! Don't blink!
