  • Audi Demonstrates Even More Powerful and Even More Efficient Engine

    Audi continues the pursuit for the perfect balance between performance and fuel efficiency. Now, the latest 190 hp (139 kW) 2.0-liter TFSI engine demonstrates the most efficient fuel consumption in its whole class.  The latest powerplant reflects the brand’s Vorsprung durch Technik philosophy and will be available with the latest A4 model.

    About ten years ago, Audi team launched the first production engine, that demonstrated stunning combination of turbocharging technology and direct injection. Since then, Audi is one of the leading brands, when it comes to downsizing and downspeeding.

    The four-cylinder 190 hp (139 kW) comes with 320 Nm of torque. Because the torque is applied in a a wide range of rpm, customers will be able to experience the constantly accessible pulling power. In addition, the engine is better, compared to its predecessor with the maximum excess of 56mpg.

    The most interesting part with the 2.0 TFSI is the combustion method. It is based to the Miller cycle, which has been revised by Audi team to demonstrate increased efficiency and performance as follows: The intake time is significantly shortened; On higher boost pressure, the engine attains optimal cylinder changes; The intake valve is also revised: it now brings even better efficiency-boosting ratio.

    Despite the latest technologies, incorporated within the powerplant it weights only 140kg and has even more features to demonstrate. For example, the coolant flow greatly reduces the warm-up time and the integration of the exhaust system is especially designed to bring low-friction engine oil.

    All the additions to the 2.0 TFSI engine demonstrate the Audi’s passion to bring the most efficient and most powerful engines ever created.

  • Audi Does It Again – 3.0 L TFSI V6 on Ward’s Top Ten List

    This just in: Audi’s 3.0 L TFSI supercharged V6 engine appears on Ward’s 10 Best Engines 2012 list  for a third consecutive year. WardsAuto is an automotive technology watchdog which has been gathering data and conducting analysis of engineering advancements for 85 years now.

    For Ward’s 2012 engine list, 36 “contenders” were probed for their power, technology, fuel economy, noise, vibration and harshness. Additional criteria required each engine to be in a regular-production U.S.-specification model on sale no later than first-quarter 2012 and that vehicle that carries the engine should not exceed 55 000$.

    “With so many engines featuring gasoline direct-injection and forced induction, we’re pleased to have a list that is rich in technology,” says Drew Winter, editor-in-chief of WardsAuto World (the company’s monthly magazine). “Plus, every engine reinforces the idea that even fuel-efficient vehicles must be fun to drive.”

    The TFSI provides 310 units of horsepower and the respectable 325 lb.-ft. of torque. Because of the all-aluminium structure of the engine and  four vane Roots-style supercharger, the TFSI is able to impersonate V8 behaviour while remaining an economical V6.

    In 2012, you’ll be able to find the 3.0 TFSI in cars such as the 2012 A6 sedan, 2012 Audi A7, the Audi Q7 and also in the S4 and S5.
