Audi presented the latest generation of its 3.0-litre V6 TDI engine at the 35th International Vienna Motor Symposium.
The turbocharged V6 will be offered in two versions producing 218bhp and 272bhp. It features a 90-degree cylinder bank angle and peak torque is as much as 600Nm depending on the model.
Although the new 3.0-litre V6 TDI is significantly more powerful than its predecessor, it is as much as 13 percent more fuel efficient - again depending on the model.
The new V6 diesel is packed with numerous high-end features. The piston rings and pins have been optimised for minimal friction.
The crankcase and the newly designed cylinder heads have separate coolant loops. The updated, innovative thermal management system improves efficiency even further. The turbocharger and the fully variable-load oil pump have also been updated.
The exhaust gas after-treatment integrated into the engine package satisfies the most stringent of emissions legislation, including the Euro 6 standard. It also reduces CO2 emissions by an average of 15g/km. This improvement earned the 3.0-litre V6 TDI the 'clean diesel' suffix.
