The brand with four rings has released details regarding its completely revised 1.8 TFSI engine, which will be fitted in the updated Audi A5 family. The turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline unit comes as the base engine for Europe, and is capable of delivering 170 horsepower and 320Nm of torque, while returning a fuel consumption figure of 5.7L/100km. This means consumption has been reduced by 21 percent compared with the previous model engine. The revised A5 emits just 134g of CO2 per km. Coupled with a manual transmission, the 1.8 TFSI accelerates the Audi A5 Coupe from zero to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 230 km/h .

TC engines are about torque@rpm figures. No point flexing all the hp figures w/o looking at the overall car package.

Let's look at the torque figures:

Audi 1.8L TFSI: 320Nm @ 1400rpm ~3700rpm

Merc 1.8L TC: around 310Nm @ 2200rpm

BMW 2.0L TC: 270Nm @ 1250rpm (I know this is not apple to apple, but it's close)

In terms of acceleration and throttle response, you can see Audi & BMW is almost instant. For the Merc you got to push the 1.8L NA to 2200rpm before you feel the boost kicks in. IMO it's a far cry from the other 2 engines.

What can I say? I'm not a hp guy like most ppl. It's all in the twisting power call torque.

Why does Audi 'still have some catching up to do'? This engine looks really impressive overall and I doubt any of the other brands' 1.8s can match its fuel efficiency.

  • This should be the true Singaporean national dish

    Singapore is known to be a melting pot of different cultures, races, people and of course, cuisines from all over the world. You can probably find food from most places here in Singapore, but we also have some dishes that we like to think of as our national dish - okay, google says there isn't an officially declared national dish, but Chicken Rice is one of those that's often mentioned. Yes, we all love Chicken Rice, but it isn't really unique to Singapore.... Nasi Lem

    Are forums outdated? I try to find out by asking AI

    Is your boss asking you to explore and learn how to use AI to improve the quality and efficiency of your work? Yup, you aren't the only one in that boat.  Whilst exploring new AI tools, I figured: Why not use it to answer some burning questions that I have? This time, it was about whether forums are outdated. Yes, forums like this one that we are on. I remember how before social media became popular, and before apps like Carousell existed, forums were where I chatted with others t

    Your next action film recommendation: Battle Los Angeles

    I’ve always held a keen interest in the armies of the world, the wars that raged, and the weapons used. Therefore, I usually appreciate a movie (preferably an action film) if there’s an army element and lots and lots of bullets involved. Well, Battle Los Angeles (2011) doesn’t disappoint. With explosive battles and intense drama, you find yourself rooting for a group of resilient Marines tasked with defending Los Angeles from an alien invasion force. And yes, it’s on Netflix (for now), and

    Cordless vacuum cleaners: A young adult's best friend?

    Every young adult probably arrives at the same point when they’ve started working for a few years: Household chores start to become more enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong – they don’t have to be one’s favourite activity on earth. But chores start to make sense: An environment that’s put-together is always a welcome haven, whether it’s returning home after a long day out, or simply staying in over the weekend (or when you’re working from home.) As a young adult myself, I've come to appreciate an
