The target was to compensate for this as best as possible, for example through the re-engineering of the combustion process and the optimisation of the gas exchange – and we are extremely satisfied with the result. We also succeeded in making a significant weight reduction so that our 3.7 litre V6 TDI is now lighter than the 3.6 litre V8 TFSI of ten years ago – and this for approximately the same engine power, substantially more torque and considerably less fuel consumption. This is remarkable progress when you consider that diesel engines are often regarded as being inherently heavier due to greater component load. This once again emphasizes Audi’s technical expertise.
