Audi previewed its latest 4 cylinder direct injection petrol engine recently. The new engine in 2.0TFSI form was shown at the Vienna Motor Symposium in a 190hp, 320Nm specification. The engine is more efficient and will be used for the first time in the upcoming Audi A4 model scheduled to launched at the end of 2015.
According to Audi, the new engine is a prime example of the Audi 'rightsizing strategy' balancing vehicle size with power, torque and efficiency of the engine and drivetrain. Whatever that means is that the new engine benefits from the fuel conserving Miller cycle combustion principles as well as utilising the current TFSI technology of direct injection, variable valve timing as well as turbocharging.
Expect this engine to form the basis of all new Audi engines after the launch of the all-new Audi A4 at the end of this year.
