“This engine is the specifically most powerful diesel there is in the world and, up until now, the biggest challenge that Audi Sport has ever faced in its long history,” explains Ulrich Baretzky, Head of Engine Technology at Audi Sport. “There has never been anything remotely comparable. We started development with a clean sheet of paper. ”

What is 1100 Newton Meters when converted into lb feet of torque?

Looks like Banks might not be the king of diesel road racing after all.

That's 811. 3 lb/ft. torque. Not bad.

That's the thing Banks will never really have. The abilty to just from the ground up build his own block and heads. . He's attempting to work with what the big 3 have, that are designed to pull, not go fast outa hte box.

It says "usable power band between 3000 and 5000 rpm. " I don't know for sure but I bet it spins a little higher. I wonder if the motor was designed by VW. I think they own Audi, and make great TDI's.

the quote of "every second audi is a diesel". Well, we know that is in europe because god (sorry)forbid an automaker be allowed produce a product that could save millions in oil consumption. Thanks to EPA, Enviro wackos sonnss of a *itches



Do you think it has an exhaust brake on it and maybe a big air horn. Oh silly me I forgot the girly mudflaps. Too much #2 on the brain is intoxicating

It is probably a very good product, I just bought an a4 99' quattro for the wife. And I think it is as good as it was brand new. If I ever have the money I would like an S4 twin turbo...

the RS6 is the nasty one. It is a tt v8 quattro it smokes the the M5 BMW

450hp, (low for a TT v8? ) auto-suggest-a-matic, AWD, 4 door, grampa's car that runs a high 12 (may be low 13?) for $90,000. noticable at a standstill by the rotors, and at speed by the exhaust and slight wide stance. Limited production run I think in 2002/3? It's first and last year was prior to the new A6 body re-design.



And if it wasn't for the cost...
