Germans have yet again dominated this year’s International Engine Of The Year (IEOTY) awards which are judged by a panel of 65 renowned motoring journalists from 32 countries. The awards ceremony took place yesterday in Stuttgart, Germany.
Topping the list with the most coveted of them all, the IEOTY awards has gone to VW’s 1.4 Liter TSI Twincharger for second year running. The sheer versatility and combination of power and economy continues to impress the motoring scribes from all over the world. The engine when mated to VW’s DSg gearbox emits just 144 g/km of CO2 while consuming just 6.2 liter of the precious fuel per 100 kilometers in the 170 bhp tune!
VW came out on tops with four overall wins followed closely by Mercedes Benz and BMW which won in 3 catagories each.

The engine consumes just 6 liter of fuel every 100 kilometers while delivering an impressive 170 bhp of maximum power.
