Gen Next Beetle orders commence in UK

Just got the latest e-newsletter from Carshowroom.com.au (Trading Post) and noticed there was an article on the New Beetle :

See article here (http://www.carshowroom.com.au/newcars/news/2419/Volkswagen_Opens_UK_Order_Books_For_New_Beetle_?re ferrer=csredm319)

I'll cut to the most interesting part:

"At launch, UK Volkswagen Beetle customers can select from two petrol engines – a 1.2-litre TSI with 142kW driving through a seven-speed DSG automatic, or a 1.4-litre TSI with 217kW driving through a six-speed manual transmission."

Has VW replicated IRON MAN's Arc reactor !!??!

Someones obviously made a mistake :D

Should be 77kW/105hp 1.2L TSI and 118kW/160hp 1.4L TSI

I think they may have gotten their power conversions mixed up haha because doing it the wrong way on the 105hp/77kw one gave me 142ish haha
