- Turbocharged 4-cylinder 2.0 TFSI and supercharged 3.0 TFSI six cylinder make the list
- Audi placed on eight of the past ten “10 Best Engines” lists
- Audi is the first car company in the USA to sell 100% of its gasoline engines with (FSI) direct injection
Audi earned top honors for two engines on the respected “10 Best Engines” list from the editor of Ward’s AutoWorld.
Both the turbocharged four-cylinder 2.0 TFSI engine with the A4, and supercharged six cylinder 3.0 TFSI engine for the sporty upgrade S4 model impressed the Ward’s editors. “This year’s list embodies how the industry is responding to demands for higher fuel economy and lower emissions without shortchanging performance,” Ward’s AutoWorld Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter said. “Auto makers are using innovative designs and advanced technology to boost horsepower and torque while downsizing engines and increasing efficiency.” Continue reading ‘Two Audi FSI engines make Ward’s “10 Best Engines” list for 2010′

While we had to cancel our trip to APR’s annual BBQ, our bud Josh is there to brings us some great news out of the APR Motorsport camp. APR picks up after STaSIS dropped its SPEED WC program at the end of 2007. This will also bring Ian Bass and Audi back together. Along with APR entering the GS class, Farnbacher Loles Racing will be entering with some BMW M3 GT4’s.
QuattroWorld.com also announced that it will be a premier sponsor of APR Motorsport’s Audi program and will function as an official media partner throughout the season.
Here’s to a short winter!
Building off of an amazing 2009 season with their 2009 VW GTIs, APR continues their momentum by stepping into the GS class. They will campaign the S4s alongside a pair of 2010 Mk6 GTIs which will continue where they left off in the Koni Challenge ST class.
Head over to QuattroWorld for more pics and complete news.
Inside Line put a nice comparison test together and really sounded unbiased throughout which makes it that much sweeter in the end.
We haven’t found anymore info to back this up but to kill off a great car and BMW M3 killer?
When we saw this news on the web we said that it isn’t true and we contacted our source from Ingolstadt to tell us something that could dismiss those reports… Unfortunately there were true… Audi killed the plans for a RS4 successor due to poor sales. And this is not the only bad news: the German manufacturer also dropped the A4 and S4 convertible… It appears that these moves came because Audi wants to focus on hybrids and environmentally friendly vehicles. So, of you want a sports sedan, you will have to choose the 2010 Audi S4!
