The Volkswagen G60 and G40 are inline–four-cylinder car petrol engines, which use forced induction by way of a scroll-type supercharger. The G60 engine was manufactured by the German automaker Volkswagen Group and used in a number of their hot hatch cars from August 1988 to July 1993.
The smaller G40 engine of identical design was previously installed in the Mk2 Volkswagen Polo GT G40 from August 1986 to July 1994.
