With the A4 2.0 FSI, Audi is now introducing a model with direct petrol injection in its second model series. The first vehicle with this technology, the A2 1.6 FSI, had its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2002. Both four-cylinder versions represent a new generation of spark-ignition engines enabling Audi to overcome the classic conflict of output versus consumption.
The 2.0 FSI in the A4 summons up 110 kW (150 bhp) and a torque of 200 Nm between 3,250 and 4,250 rpm. This allows the A4 2.0 FSI saloon to accelerate to from 0 to 100 km/h in only 9.6 seconds. Thanks to the new engine, it reaches a top speed of 218 km/h. The A4 Avant with FSI engine sprints up to 100 km/h in 9.9 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 214 km/h.
Just as characteristic as the sportiness of FSI engines is their distinctive efficiency ? and the combination of both these properties qualifies the A4 FSI as the clear leader in its class. In view of the performance figures achieved, an average consumption of 7.1 litres of premium-grade petrol per 100 kilometres (overall according to 1999/100 EC) for the saloon and Avant is exemplary. The engine?s emissions, of course, remain under the limits of what is currently the most stringent standard, the EU IV.
FSI engines achieve considerably more output and dynamism than conventional engines with indirect injection ? with at the same time a major reduction in fuel consumption. With the increase in efficiency achieved here, Audi has opened up a new dimension in the efficiency of standard spark-ignition engines and once again demonstrated the proverbial progress through technology familiar to the brand.
