FSI direct fuel injection technology brings these benefits to virtually all the petrol engines in the Audi range, in many cases in combination with turbo charging for optimum response. More power, less fuel FSI technology increases the torque and output of petrol engines, making them up to 15% more economical and with reduced exhaust emissions. The dimensions and harmonisation of the combustion chamber design, combined with the airflow and injection rate, results in more power being squeezed out of every drop of fuel. FSI – how it works With FSI technology, fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber. The injector regulates the amount of fuel with millisecond precision at injection pressures of between 30 and 110 bar. During the injection process, the evaporating fuel has a significant cooling effect on the cylinder charge. This contributes to improved cylinder charging and enhanced engine output. The cooling effect also helps reduce the engine’s tendency to knock. This reduction means that the compression ratio of FSI engines can be set considerably higher than for engines with conventional injection systems. The engines of the FSI family are fitted with a two-stage variable intake manifold. The power mode (short duct length) contributes to the high specific power output of the engines at high engine speeds. At low revs, the long duct length setting is selected increasing the maximum torque by more than 15%. With the aid of a flap system in the intake duct, the in-cylinder flow can be optimally adjusted. In part-load operation, a strong flow ensures low fuel consumption and low exhaust emissions. At full load, the air is drawn in with minimal losses, meaning that torque and output are increased. TFSI engines Audi is the first manufacturer in the world to combine direct injection FSI technology with forced induction in volume production. The exceptionally broad torque plateau of the TFSI engine on the one hand permits a fuel-efficient driving style with few gearshifts, and on the other hand means that only light accelerator is needed to produce impressive thrust. TDI engines TDI explained TDI engine technology made its debut in 1989. Audi presented the world’s first production car diesel engine with turbo charging, direct injection and electronic management at the Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA). Turbodiesel technology with direct injection went on to become a major success. Today, Audi TDI engines featuring the latest common rail injection technology are as notable for their power and refinement as they are for their exceptional economy. Their great advantage is plentiful torque that is available from low revs, making for strong and easily accessible performance, coupled of course with remarkable cruising range. This choice blend continues to make TDI variants the most popular in every Audi model range that offers this option. Common rail system explained In TDI engines equipped with the common rail system, all cylinders are located on a single high-pressure rail. This rail is an accumulator, which is supplied by a pump and stores the fuel at a pressure of up to 2,000 bar – the equivalent of the weight of a luxury saloon car on the space of one square centimetre. Thanks to the high pressure and a very fine bore diameter of only one tenth of a millimetre in the nozzle, the injectors achieve very fine atomisation of the fuel. This ensures excellent mixture preparation and highly efficient combustion, which delivers greater power, low emissions and low fuel consumption.

The injector regulates the amount of fuel with millisecond precision at injection pressures of between 30 and 110 bar. During the injection process, the evaporating fuel has a significant cooling effect on the cylinder charge. One effect of this is to increase cylinder charging – resulting in a corresponding increase in engine power output. In addition, the engine’s tendency to knock is reduced by the cooling effect. This reduction means that the compression ratio of FSI engines can be considerably higher than on engines with conventional injection systems.The engines of the FSI family are fitted with a two-stage variable intake manifold. The power mode (short duct length) at high engine speeds contributes to the high specific power output of the engines. At low revs, the “long duct length” is selected instead, increasing the maximum torque by more than 15%.With the aid of a flap system in the intake duct, the in-cylinder flow can be optimally adjusted. In part-load operation, a strong flow ensures low fuel consumption and low exhaust emissions. At full load, the air is drawn in with minimal losses, meaning that torque and power output are increased.The latest generation of V6 FSI engines is equipped with the Audi valvelift system. This technology provides intelligent control of the intake valves. This consequently increases power and torque while reducing fuel consumption. Audi already employs this innovative technology for its direct-injection V6 FSI engines with 2.8 and 3.2 litres displacement.Acoustic hoodadaptive air suspensionadaptive cruise controladaptive

RacingRolf 7 months ago One of my favorite Sportscars. Not only is it fast, it is a great ride on (almost) all roads as well. I was really surprised at how comfortable this is. Properly great car this one. Too bad I can't afford one. But you can rent them for a day or two and have a little fun on the Autobahn. (Don't say you rent them for that though. :D) Oh and the Ring offers a half-day trackticket where you get to drive an R8 (dunno if it's the V10) with a professional tutor and insurance and the car is set up for the ring.

And when i think of V8's, i always think of Big V8's, Muscle Cars. steve__1979 1 year ago I don't like the look of the front of the R8, the lights and the grills below the lights don't look quite right. The overall shape is good though and from the back it's simply stunning - very smart and sporty without being OTT like most supercars. Anonymous 1 year ago The GT sounds like an F1 car and the rest just sound like a Ford Mustang, besides the Carrera GT would get more looks any day than some dodge.

There is something about the subtle looks, understated power and excellent quality which makes them particularly compelling. The halo effect of the R8 supercar hasn’t hurt things either. So there are few cars which do more for your kudos than an Audi S8 fitted with the V10 engine from a Lamborghini Gallardo. Just make sure you can afford the bills and plant plenty of trees to offset your carbon footprint. 1. Looks 8/10 Audi’s are generally discreet cars, a trait accentuated by the choice of a sensible colour palette; our test car was finished in Daytona Grey. But, the S8 will still get you noticed thanks to a combination of its sheer size, 20-inch alloy wheels, silver door mirrors and grille and V10 badges. It certainly makes a statement, and whether you like the attention or not is a personal choice. 2. Looks inside 10/10 The Audi S8 has one of the finest interiors we’ve experienced in any car. Our test model was finished in silver/light grey Valcona leather and its seats and trim were of the highest quality. The doors and centre console are impeccably covered in matching stitched leather and the slim dashboard has a swathe of carbon fibre trim. We particularly like the folding satellite navigation screen which completely disappears when not in use, or you just want audio navigation prompts. At night the S8’s cabin is arguably even more impressive, coming alive with the best ambient lighting we’ve seen. Small strips of warm light bathe the cabin in a relaxing glow. 3. Practicality 8/10 A big boot is a must in this class of car, and the S8 doesn’t disappoint with 500-litres of luggage space available in its tail. The boot lifts to fully open with a press on the key fob and closes automatically with a press of a button just under the tailgate. Interior space is excellent, with rear legroom capable of making it a fine super-fast limousine. Each door features a luxurious pop-out door bin. But its size is a virtue and curse. We found the S8 tricky to manoeuvre in multi-storey car parks designed mainly for hatchbacks and superminis and parking is tricky, even with the reversing camera. 4. Ride and Handling 7/10 The S8 has Quattro four-wheel drive, air-suspension which can be switched between ‘Dynamic’ (automatic), ‘Comfort’ and ‘Sport’ modes and runs on huge 20-inch wheels and tyres, so it’s hardly surprising its road holding and grip are epic. And, the clever suspension provides a great balance between comfort and handling. But, two factors mean this is a car which will only worry sports cars in a straight line; its weight and size. The S8 feels hemmed in on B-roads and even A-roads, and feels most at home flying along dual carriageways and motorways. 5. Performance 9/10 Audi S8 owners will surely never grow tired of telling people its 5.2-litre V10 engine is sourced from the Lamborghini Gallardo supercar. Audi’s engineers have reduced its power to 450bhp but increased its pulling power to 398lb/ft to make it better suited to a heavier car better suited to long distance cruising than track days. It’s an awesome engine which is much quieter than in a Lamborghini, but still roars and throbs when you want it to. Acceleration from 0-62mph takes 5.1 seconds, while its top speed is artificially limited to 155mph. 6. Running Costs 3/10 There is no doubt you need to be on great terms with your bank manager to run this car. Audi’s fitment of more efficient direct fuel injection means 21.4mpg is respectable for such a big, powerful engine, but it’s still going to mean big bills. Depreciation is eye-watering, 314g/km places the S8 is in line for the highest tax bills and parts for the complex suspension, big brakes and special engine will be expensive. Don’t forget the surprisingly reasonably £70,430 starting price though; a Mercedes S-Class S63 AMG costs from £94,482. 7. Reliability 7/10 Audi A8 owners reporting on Drive the Debate have given an impressive 4.5 star score overall. But, several commentators state high servicing costs and rarity of parts as a concern. The Reliability Index ranks Audi behind competitors BMW, Mercedes and its more mainstream partner, Volkswagen. 8. Safety 9/10 Due to its low production volume, EuroNCAP hasn’t tested the Audi S8, but if it did we’re confident it would score well. All of Audi’s trusted safety kit is present and correct, including a full complement of airbags, ABS, ESP, traction control, ISOFIX child seat anchor points, first aid kit and warning triangle. Quattro four-wheel drive and big brakes also add to the S8’s all-weather safety. 9. Equipment 9/10 While Audi’s lower in the pecking order can be stingily equipped, the S8 is a flagship model and has an impressive spec sheet. Bluetooth connectivity, satellite navigation with 7-inch folding screen, adaptive Xenon headlights, BOSE stereo, leather upholstery, carbon trim, power closing doors and boot, folding and dimming door mirrors, heated front seats and tyre pressure monitors are all standard. Our test car was also fitted with Audi Music Interface (£245), Audi Parking Advanced System (£365), Audi Side Assist (£440), Audi Lane Assist (£390), Adaptive Cruise Control (£1,470), twin-pane heat and UV insulating glass (£325). 10. X-Factor 9/10 The Audi S8 certainly has X-Factor and surprise, surprise it’s the juxtaposition of Lamborghini-derived engine and ultra-luxurious interior which set this car apart. It’s an incredibly cool combination having so much power in such a sophisticated package. If you can afford the bills it’s a beautiful car to drive and own, just don’t tell your green-conscious friends what’s under the bonnet.
