Written by Jose Perez   
ImageVolkswagenvolkswagen has taken the wraps off a Golf BlueMotion concept carconcept car capable of a combined 74.3 mpg while emitting just 99 g/km of CO2http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide . The concept is powered by a highly-efficient and refined 1.6-litre TDI common rail diesel engine developing 105 PS and 184 lbs ft of torque at 2,000 rpm. Despite the focus on economy the Golf BlueMotion concept can reach 62 mph from rest in a respectable 11.3 seconds before going on to a top speed of 117 mph.

The Golf BlueMotion uses a set of low rolling resistance tyres, optimised aerodynamicsMaking-a-Racket May-07 and revised ratios in the five speed gearbox. The resulting combination of changes works to reduce loading on the engine to drive up economy and reduce emissions.

In common with other diesel models in the forthcoming new Golf range, the BlueMotion concept is fitted with a diesel particulate filter.
