For the first time, Audi has brought to market a mechanically supercharged powerplant the 3.0l V6 TFSI. This Roots blower supercharged engine is based on the 3.2l V6 naturally aspirated engine from the current Audi V engine family. By embracing new technology, in combination with the FSI combustion process, Audi has developed an engine concept that cuts an impressive figure in terms of its compact design, acoustics, responsiveness and fuel efficiency. The engine has a broad range of characteristics from comfort oriented to ultra sporty. The sporty version of the engine specifically targets US clientele. The car s so called take off behaviour plays a key role here. The aim is to achieve the greatest possible acceleration between traffic lights in urban traffic. With its enormous power, however, the 3.0l V6 TFSI engine is also well suited to comfort oriented driving. A wide range of uses have been envisaged for it within the Audi product portfolio. In Europe, China and the USA, it will be available for the first time from the autumn of 2008 in the Audi A6. Historically, mechanical supercharging using Roots blowers is nothing new to cars bearing the four ring badge. In fact, Roots blowers were once used on the engines of the legendary AUTO UNION racing cars Silver Arrows , which were powered by huge V engines with up to 16 cylinders supercharged by up to two Roots blowers. Between 1934 and 1939, the legendary AUTO UNION drivers spearheaded by Hans Stuck and Bernd Rosemeyer racked up numerous Grand Prix wins, not to mention setting a string of world speed records. 437 003 Audi 3.0l V6 TFSI engine 437 004 The objectives of this Self Study Programme In this Self Study Programme you will learn about the design and operation of the 3.0l V6 TFSI engine.
