It’s perfectly fine for us to admit that other engines have
more cylinders, have more horsepower and have larger dis-
placements. It’s just that we’ve made our engines lighter and
more ecient than others, to optimize what we call power
density.

Because anyone who has driven an Audi knows un-
mistakable power when they feel it. It means strength that
pulses with torque at the moment of acceleration, provides a
true, quick response as you change lanes, and turns the most
routine cloverleaf into a joyful application of performance
handling. Sure, we love hitting the throttle and feeling the
thrust of acceleration,

but we also want our drivers to experi-
ence the balance and precision of Audi engineering. From the
A3 to our track-bred line of Audi performance cars, we are
in the business of engineering emotion using more compact
engines that concentrate power, while using less weight to
your advantage, helping improve handling to the point where
others just feel heavy.
TDI®
A turbocharged, fuel-sipping variant, our TDI®
clean diesel engine delivers uncompromising
Audi performance with bold eciency.

Yes,
it gets better mileage per gallon than compa-
rable gasoline engines, but it also produces
more low-end torque, which is best expressed
in the elasticity you have when passing in the
30- to 60-mph range.
FSI®
The Audi FSI direct injection fuel manage-
ment and delivery system directly injects fuel
into the combustion chambers at precisely
managed times and depths. What that means
for drivers is that a fully homogenized intake
charge helps increase power while also reduc-
ing fuel consumption and emissions, making
eciency more powerful.

TFSI®
At Audi, TFSI represents a combination of two
of the brand’s core areas of expertise—direct
injection and forced induction. By adding
forced induction (turbocharging or super-
charging) to Audi FSI direct injection, the
pressurized intake charge is cooled by directly
injected fuel, thus achieving eciency and
performance combined with higher compres-
sion ratios—previously only attainable by
naturally aspirated engines.

It’s Audi because
power is measured by strength,
not size.
Ants can carry up to 50 times their
body weight. That got us thinking
about lightweight structures, smart
engineering and true performance.
