Ingolstadt - Audi will utilize electric turbo to provide additional power to the RS4 models. V6 3.0 liter six-cylinder and use the electricity turbo.
As reported by AutoExpress, Sunday (26/07/2015), the technology will first be implemented in the latest Audi RS4 Avant. Furthermore, RS5 Coupe will also be implementing a 3.0-liter V6 engine turbo-electric technology.
This adjustment will allow the car to be able to generate great power, but there is no lag as in other high-powered turbo car. CO2 emission was reduced significantly thanks to this technology.
Audi's head of Technical Development, Dr Ulrich Hackenber explained, small electric turbo can provide an instant boost at low engine speed because it is not driven by exhaust gases. Later, this technology will fill the void until the turbo boost larger conventional working to provide greater impetus.
Turbo electricity will be powered by a battery that is charged via a generator that charge when the braking process. However, the cost of electricity turbo components are still more expensive than using a conventional twin turbo is also a method of reducing turbo lag.
"The electrical system is only to be used in the most expensive type," said Hakenberg.
Unfortunately, he did not want to mention explicitly about the performance of the RS4 which will be sold starting 2016. However, it is likely that Audi will try to keep the gap between the strength of the current RS4 and S4. That is, the flagship type of next-generation RS4 will have a power of 480 horsepower.
