Vorsprung durch Technik.

Three words that express

the very essence of Audi.

Vorsprung durch Technik isn’t

a slogan. It’s our way of seeing

the world. It is the driving

force behind our history of

innovation that continues

into the 21st century. Indeed,

many technologies that Audi

pioneered remain in our cars

today. Some are milestones in

the history of the motorcar.

From our beginnings in 1899,

to the Auto Union team’s Grand

Prix successes in the 1930s and

our more recent wins at Le Mans,

we have always been at the

forefront of the motor industry.

Vorsprung durch Technik makes

us who we are. To see more of

its influence, just read on.

The Audi A6 – luxury refined.

We haven’t made the fuel tank bigger, we’ve

just made our engines more fuel efficient. On

the Audi A6 2.0 TDIe, for instance, you’ll get

up to 107 more miles each time you fill up.

And across the whole A6 diesel engine range,

you’ll get between 48 and 127 more miles. So

one place you won’t be going with all those

extra miles is the petrol station.

Efficiency

At Audi, doing less is something we’re trying

to do more of. We’re working to use less fuel,

release less CO

we’ve incorporated a number of more efficient

technologies into the Audi A6.

Recuperation

When a vehicle brakes, the discs convert the kinetic

energy into thermal energy, which is wasted as

it cannot be used. With a recuperation system,

like the one in the Audi A6, the kinetic energy is

converted into useful electrical energy. The way

it works is simple. While the car is coasting or

braking, the alternator voltage is raised above the

level of the basic electrical system, which enables

the alternator to generate electrical energy and

store it temporarily in the battery. When the

vehicle accelerates, this energy is used to

relieve the load on the alternator, resulting

in a fuel saving of up to 3%.

2 and waste less energy. It’s why

TDI and FSI

Inside the Audi A6 you’ll find the same

advanced fuel-injection technology that’s

driven us to win after win at Le Mans. With

TDI and FSI, fuel is injected directly into the

engine’s chambers so that combustion is

timed right down to the millisecond. As a

result, waste is minimised and you get the

most from every last drop of fuel.

Engines

Petrol

FSI direct-injection technology is a unique Audi innovation that

was originally developed for the Le Mans 24-hour endurance

race to deliver more power and torque, as well as enhanced fuel

efficiency. Precisely the right amount of fuel and air are injected

into the combustion chambers, enabling the engine to ‘breathe’

more easily. It results in reduced heat loss and increased

output, with around a 15% reduction in fuel consumption and

significantly lower exhaust emissions. We’ve also developed

TFSI, with either turbocharging or supercharging, which

combines FSI technology with forced induction – giving cars

an extra injection of power.

Diesel

All diesel engines from Audi are known as TDI – Turbo Direct

Injection. This impressive technology was originally pioneered by

Audi in 1989, marking a departure from the noisy, fuel-thirsty

diesel engines of the past. Like its FSI petrol counterpart, the

TDI diesel engine is designed for power and performance, with

low fuel consumption and CO

2.0 TDIe engine emits just 139g/km of CO

of the cleanest engines in its class, and we’ve also refined our

V6 engines to make them more efficient than ever before.

2 emissions. For instance, the new

Transmission

multitronic®

Translating a driver’s preferences and intentions into road

performance, the multitronic® transmission system entertains

no compromises – whether in terms of dynamism, convenience

or economy. multitronic® automatic transmission is available

on models without quattro® permanent all-wheel-drive. A

continuously variable transmission, multitronic® can transmit

up to 400Nm of torque and permits an exceptionally wide range

of gear ratios. The result is smooth, powerful acceleration and

a high level of driving comfort. And thanks to its lightweight

design and a number of advanced electronic control systems

that monitor gradient, road conditions and the way the driver

is using the accelerator pedal, multitronic® also plays an

instrumental role in reducing fuel consumption.

tiptronic®

The 6-speed tiptronic® transmission system is a form of

automatic transmission available on Audi models with quattro®

permanent all-wheel-drive. The technology converts high-torque

engine power into both sporty performance and operating

convenience, with crisp, fast gear changes, reduced weight

and an optimised gearshift strategy. More spontaneous gear

changes are a particular benefit, especially when down-shifting.

Both in the ‘D’ (Drive) and ‘S’ (Sport) programme, the advanced

electronics used in tiptronic® respond efficiently to every driver

input, helping to prevent unwanted upshifts when cornering.

quattro

It’s the technology that has given Audi

the edge on the racetrack ever since it

was first introduced over 25 years ago – a

technology that delivers ultimate control

whilst enhancing the sporty characteristics

which make the A6 so thrilling to drive. It’s

called quattro

The principle is simple: in the same way that

four brakes ensure better deceleration, four

permanently-driven wheels deliver better

acceleration and road-holding, pushing

or pulling the car as needed, for a driving

experience that’s both dynamic and safe.

permanent all-wheel-drive.

In the A6, asymmetric dynamic torque

distribution continuously distributes drive

power between the front and rear axles

depending on weather conditions, road

surface and gradient, which increases

flexibility for an enhanced, sportier drive.

Audi is no stranger to victory at Le Mans – we’ve won the legendary 24-hour race 8 times in 10 years. Our greatest triumph came on 18 June 2006, when we became the first manufacturer ever to win Le Mans with a diesel car.

The theory was simple but it made the technology extremely efficient: we injected exactly the right amount of fuel and air into the engine’s combustion chambers, which resulted in less wastage and fewer pitstops. Now we’ve produced a range of very special ‘Le Mans’ A6 models which use the same remarkably efficient TDI and FSI technology that has been

integral to our recent Le Mans victories.

Unlike the race-winning R10, however,

this model comes complete with the
