Summary

The completely new developed V6 3.2l FSI engine from Audi combines top values in torque and power output for naturally aspirated petrol engines in a unique way. With a specific power output of 60,3 kW/l and 105,8 Nm/l torque (> 100 Nm/l between 2400 – 5500 rpm), very good low-end-torque characteristics with a high power output up to 7200 rpm are achieved. A low fuel consumption is the result of the combination of fuel direct injection with a compression ratio of 12.5, together with using fuel quality ROZ 95 & 91. A lifetime chain drive and flexible oil-changing intervals up to a mileage of 30.000 km allow low vehicle running costs and make the engine easy to maintain. The engine is offered in the new A6 with the following drive variants: a six-speed manual transmission with front-wheel drive as well as quattro wheel drive, a multitronic front-wheel drive and a six-speed „tiptronic“ automatic transmission with quattro-wheel drive.
