The Audi 1.8 TFSI
Audi is supplying yet further evidence of its leading position as an engine manufacturer by unveiling an entirely new high-tech four-cylinder engine: the 1.8 TFSI signals the market debut of a new family of engines and combines the evolution of the TFSI concept with an entirely new basic engine. The TFSI concept brings together the advantages of petrol direct injection and turbocharging. This innovative technology paves the way for superior road performance and greater dynamism on less fuel and with reduced emissions. The new engine is putting in its first appearance in the Audi A3. With its output of 118 kW (160 bhp) and high peak torque of 250 Nm, it constitutes a powerful basis for sporty driving pleasure.

As well as FSI petrol direct injection, the V6 thus for the first time features a highly efficient but astonishingly simple valve control technology – the innovative Audi valvelift system. What this means for Audi drivers is even more driving fun, on appreciably less fuel.
