(CORRECTION TO AUDI PRESS RELEASE By The Audi Blog Site)When Less is More: The Storied Success of Audi's 2.0 TFSI I-4 Engine

"The newest Audi 2.0 TFSI engine produces substantial improvements over its predecessor by turning out 5.5 percent more horsepower (211 hp vs 200 hp) and a whopping 24.6 percent more torque (258 lb.-ft. vs. 207 lb.-ft.).
To put the new 2.0 TFSI I-4 engine's performance into perspective, consider that the engine used in the high-performance 2003-model-year S4 also achieved 258 lb-ft. of torque. But it did so with a V-6, bi-turbo configuration."

The Correction:
  • 2001 B5 Model S4 had the 2.7 Litre 30Valve Bi-Turbo V6 Rated @ 250HP/258 ft·lb
  • 2003 Model S4 had the 4.2 Litre 40 Valve V8 Rated @ 344 HP/302 lb-ft
