Poole Audi - Vorsprung durch Technik

The long-awaited 3.0 Biturbo 313PS engine is now open for ordering on A6 Saloon, A6 Avant and A7 Sportback models. It will also feature as part of the A6 allroad quattro range coming later this year.

The new Biturbo engine is the third and most potent of the trio of 3.0-litre V6 diesels available in the A6 and A7 ranges, delivering a powerful 313PS and 650Nm of torque. This superb performance powers the A6 saloon from 0 to 62mph in 5.1 seconds and both the A6 Avant and A7 Sportback in 5.3 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 155mph. All of this performance doesn't come at the expense of fuel economy though, the 3.0 BiTDI delivers 44.1mpg combined across the A6 and A7 range.

A new development appears for the first time in the 3.0 BiTDI – an innovative sound actuator integrated in the exhaust system which enhances the acoustics and perfectly emphasises the performance attributes of the engine. This feature consists of a speaker located in an auxiliary channel of the exhaust system.

With a modulation method it imposes a defined oscillation pattern on typical exhaust gas noises and, alongside the power generation of the Biturbo, emits a low, sonorous roar more traditionally experienced on high-performance petrol engines.
