Genena is the new name of Geneva. After they see the A5 they will be so thrilled that they will have to change the name of their city. Lol... j/k

hi Yannis.... I see that you are very informed about Audis......
So, I've a question for you.
Certenly you know that the new Audi generation is based on a common platform (MLB/MLP).
I heard that this is made up for the 80% of aluminuim.
Is this true?

Sorry for mistakes.... :-)

No mistakes at all and you can ask whatever you want.

All Audi models will be based on the new Modular Longitudinal Platform (MLP) but only the next A8 (D4) will be made from Aluminium (just like the current model).

thank you....

I'm waiting for the new A4 (B8). Fortunatelly, the new platform will make the feeling with car more precise without understeering behaviour tipical of Audi.

But, be carefull: I said only the platform would be in aluminium.
Infact A8 have also the ASF body. And this will continue to be an exclusive of the A8/R8.
But I think that there is also the opportunity that the new Audi's generation
have "only" the platform in aluminium and the body in common materials.

What about the engines? there are a lot of voices about a new V6 3.0 TDI capable of 250BPH ( that is half of the last V12 TDI made by two V6 with new BOSCH injectors) that is made up with the third generation of common-rail sistem (with 2000 bar pression).
I red also from other forum that the power would be also around 270 BPH for the V6 TDI.
Personally I don't believe in a so hight power for the V6 TDI . But I think that Audi will put of a new engine to contrast the 335d.

A car's "platform" is essentially the floor of its bodyshell and that i not going to be made from Aluminium in the new A4 and A5.

The next A3 & TT are to be made on this platform as well is what you're saying Yannis???

No. A3 , A3 cabrio and Q3 will continue to use the Golf platform. The engine is transversely mounted in those models while the Modular Longitudinal Platform will be used in models with Longitudinally mounted engine (such as A4,A5,A6 and A8).
Q7 and TT use their own unique platforms.
