dang i didnt know looking up something like that would be so easy
this is what i found...
"The big news for 2002 was the addition of the sportiest New Beetle yet, the Turbo S. "For power, this fired-up Bug sports VW's venerable 1.8T turbocharged engine," we reported in a three-car comparison test with Ford's SVT Focus and Honda's Civic Si. "It's a 20-valve DOHC four-cylinder design, with an iron block and aluminum cylinder head. Thanks to upgrades and optimization of the air intake, ignition timing and fuel mixture, along with a less-restrictive exhaust system, the engine makes 180 hp at 5,500 rpm and 173 pound-feet of torque from 1,950 rpm to 5,000 rpm. These numbers are considerably more than the 150 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque provided by the 1.8T in the GLX. To get the Turbo S' power to the front wheels, VW has installed an exclusive six-speed manual transmission."

the power of the internet....

I dont think its a V6...i went to their site and i only find 4 cylinders, pero i think you would win, cause the 4 cyl Turbo makes 0-60 in 7-8 seconds and its at 180 hp...

Use that for reference, but please note that she'll shatter you at higher RPMs + speeds because she has a higher top end.
