D the gap is closed again. It gaped in the Q7 model range when Audi took the massive V12 TDI out of its range in 2012, and the new series introduced in 2015 has so far only had to make do with six-cylinders.
In order to be able to offer customers a monster diesel again, Audi has launched a new V8 TDI. The engine delivers a hefty 435 hp from 3,956 cubic centimeters of displacement and has asphalt-Falter qualities with 900 Newton meters of torque. For this purpose, the Ingolstadt-based company uses triple forced ventilation with a world first: in addition to the two conventional exhaust gas turbochargers, an electrically operated compressor is used, which provides additional thrust in the lower speed range. The start from a standing start should be correspondingly huge.
