Engines<br />

Petrol<br />

FSI® direct-injection technology is a unique <strong>Audi</strong> innovation that<br />

was originally developed for the Le Mans 24-hour endurance<br />

race to deliver more power and torque, as well as enhanced fuel<br />

efficiency. Precisely the right amount of fuel and air are injected<br />

into the combustion chambers, enabling the engine to ‘breathe’<br />

more easily. It results in reduced heat loss and increased<br />

output, with around a 15% reduction in fuel consumption and<br />

significantly lower exhaust emissions. We’ve also developed<br />

TFSI®, with either turbocharging or supercharging, which<br />

combines FSI® technology with forced induction – giving cars<br />

an extra injection of power.<br />

Diesel<br />

We introduced TDI® to the roads in 1989, marking a departure<br />

from the noisy, fuel-thirsty diesel engines of the past. And since<br />

then, we’ve continuously refined it, recently developing commonrail<br />

technology. Under this system, a series of piezo injectors<br />

use electrical charge to precisely control the amount of fuel<br />

injected into the engine. As well as reducing noise, this allows<br />

combustion to happen at a lower temperature, with less oxygen,<br />

which lowers emissions.<br />
