Engine of the Year Award for Audi 2.0 TFSI

The heart of the acclaimed S3 and TT, and a host of other Audi models, has beaten category rivals to a best-in-class win for the third successive year in the 2007 Engine of the Year awards.

A jury of more than 60 recognised trade journalists from 30 countries voted the 2.0-litre, four-cylinder Turbo FSI engine best in the 1.8-litre to 2.0-litre category, describing it as ‘not only incredibly versatile and clever, but also remarkably powerful’.

The Audi-developed 2.0 TFSI unit made its debut in the A3 Sportback, and with varying outputs from 200PS to 265PS now powers a wide range of A3, A4, A6 and TT models.
This much lauded engine was joined last year by a smaller capacity unit also combining turbo charging with FSI direct petrol injection to deliver even greater efficiency – the 1.8-litre TFSI with 160PS. This unit is currently available in the A3 1.8 TFSI priced from £18,115 OTR.
