Meet Audi's new engine: the 1.8 TFSI

Meet Audi's new engine: the 1.8 TFSI

Audi has revealed the details on the newest engine in the company's portfolio. The 1.8-liter, direct-injection, turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder produces an impressive 170 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque while returning 41.27 mpg in the A5 on the U.S. scale. That's a reduction in fuel consumption of as much as 21 percent compared to the outgoing engine, thanks in part to the clever use of both direct and indirect injection. In part-load range, fuel is injected into the intake runners where it's swirled with air just like in the good old days.
