5.0L BiTURBO V10 Audi to compete with vette!
High power output, maximum torque, refinement and a fascinating sound – these are the basic characteristics of a perfect GT engine, with a fascination that lies both in its potent performance and its everyday usability. The 5.0-litre ‘biturbo’ V10 has these features plus the ‘bite’ that comes from ample torque in all engine speed ranges and a willingness to run up to high speeds that is second to none.
This engine is a new design, capable of mobilising an impressive 441 kilowatts of power (600 bhp). FSI petrol direct injection, the advanced technology that is setting new standards and has already paved the way for historic victories in the 2001 and 2002 Le Mans 24-hour races and the American Le Mans Series, makes a decisive contribution to the engine’s performance.
Among the most impressive features of the Audi Nuvolari quattro’s ten-cylinder ‘biturbo’ FSI engine’s are its willingness to rev freely and the vigorous power flow available at all engine speeds. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds and on to a maximum speed that has been governed to 250 km/h. The maximum torque of 750 Nm is available at an engine speed as low as 2,000 rpm and remains constant over a broad engine-speed range. All this results in powerful, not to say supreme, forward thrust, the ideal precondition for driving long distances in a sporting style and also when storming up winding mountain passes. Audi will release this car to compete with the porsches and upcoming 500Hp vette.
