1 Always obey all speed and trac laws.

data. Your mileage and emissions will vary and depend on sev-
eral factors, including your driving habits and vehicle condition.
FSI®
The FSI direct injection fuel system directly
injects fuel into the combustion chambers at
precisely managed times and depths. What
that means for drivers is that a fully homog-
enized intake charge helps increase power
while also reducing 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 tur
-
bocharging or supercharging to FSI direct injec-
tion, the pressurized intake charge is cooled by
dir
ectly injected fuel, thus achieving eciency
and performance combined with higher com
-
pression ratios—previously only attainable by
natur
ally aspirated engines
.

TDI®
A turbocharged, fuel-sipping variant, our TDI®
clean diesel engines deliver 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.
ENGINEERING POWER IS MORE THAN JUST ADDING MUSCLE.
There is an art to fitness. Yes, there
are some who go for the massive,
sculptured muscle look. But there
is something more compelling out
there for those with more refined
tastes. The kind of sculpted ecien-
cy found in Audi engines elevates
the driving experience through
smaller, finely tuned forced-
induction engines. For the drive to feel lean and precise, we’ve shaved o
unwanted pounds. Sure, large numbers might distract some, but a cham-
pion impresses with its grace, power and athletic balance—captured in
the right suspension setting, or a torque-vectored corner. Audi engineers
shape power that celebrates a true dedication to craft. It means strength
that pulses 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.

This is the art of maximum fitness,
to the point where others just feel a little flabby.
