Yes, the same thoughts occurred to me too.
I'd assume it's all the same electric motor and when the Golf GTE came out a few years back it was rated at 204hp. I've seen a few places "remapping" or "unlocking" and quoting 245hp
odd that eh ?
I'd be very surprised if it wasn't the same electric motor used throughout the range.
Just like I suspect the GTD and 150ish TDI engines are just different maps (maybe others) .... might be wrong but it seems daft to have two or more different types of 2.0 diesel engine.
I'm coming from a Golf GTD to Leon ST e-hybrid..... at some point (ordered end Aug, no build or delivery info yet) so that's why I quote VW stuff. Mind you those engines are in SEAT/SKODA as well.
I noticed with the Advent of the MK 8 GTD, quoted figures are 200ps 197 BHP, again coming from 181bhp /184ps isn't enough to warrant brand new engine design from the ground up I don't think
.
Short answer : look for places that offer remapping for the GOLF GTE.
