Αctually it's a VW engine so you will see it across VW/Seat and Skoda range.

AutoBild's journalist Georg Kacher wrote the forthcoming engine report:

Motoren: Der Vierzylinder hat die goldenen Jahre noch vor sich

Bei BMW sind sie zu Recht stolz auf ihre Sechszylinder, doch wenn es um Efficient Dynamics geht, ist der Vierzylinder kaum zu schlagen. So hat die CO2- und Verbrauchsdiskussion den Wettbewerbsnachteil von Audi fast über Nacht in einen Vorteil verwandelt. Schließlich sind die Vierzylinder von der Donau prinzipbedingt leichter, sparsamer, sauberer und billiger als die Sechszylinder von der Isar. Die Konsequenz: VW hat die Entwicklung des VR6 TDI gestoppt und die Neuauflage des VR6-Benziners vertagt. Das ist nur konsequent, denn der Zweiliter-TDI mobilisiert demnächst 204 PS, der Zweiliter-TFSI kommt bald auf 280 PS. Und der von VW ausgeborgte 2,5-Liter-Fünfzylinder steht als Turbo mit 320 PS und 450 Nm derart gut im Futter, dass kaum jemand den durstigen VR6 vermissen dürfte. Noch spannender als die-se Leistungsfantasien ist das Downsizing-Potenzial des Vierzylinder-Benziners, das in Verbindung mit einfacher oder doppelter Aufladung erstaunlich günstige Verbrauchswerte ermöglicht. Die Audi-Planung für den A3-Nach-folger sieht im Detail so aus: • 1.2 TFSI, 105 PS/175 Nm • 1.4 TFSI, 125 PS/200 Nm • 1.8 TFSI, 160 PS/250 Nm • 2.0 TFSI, 211 PS/350 Nm.

Audi 2010 Engine Product Offensive Leaked

Although we have yet to reach the midpoint of the well known leaked Audi roll out schedule 2012 document, so far it's been right on target. And now, this latest leaked information sent to us from Audiblog.nl lists the upcoming engine/model schedule with the production start and market launch dates. Audiblog.nl tells us the information came from an Audi Poland spreadsheet document and it is from a reliable source, however, we have not confirmed the authenticity of the information. So, take it or leave it - this information is for your enjoyment. Compared to the 2012 roll out schedule linked above, there are a few surprises.

Audi A1
In addition to the current 1.4 TFSI engines, the A1 will also receive a new 63kW (86hp) entry level 1.2-liter TFSI which is most likely based on the 70hp 1.2-liter engine that was recently shown in the new SEAT Ibiza at the Madrid Motor Show last week.

Audi S4 (B8)
The sports version of the current generation A4 will see the 4.2-liter V8 from the B7 generation get dropped, and instead, return to its B5 roots with the all new 245kW (333hp) 3.0-liter V6 bi-turbo TFSI. Available in Avant form as well as sedan, the S4 will be available in 6-speed manual transmission or double-clutch 7-speed S-tronic.

Audi S5
The Audi S5 coupe will keep its 4.2-liter V8 for now, but starting in September 2010 the bi-turbo 3.0-liter TFSI V6 as seen in the S4 will replace it. Despite the horsepower reduction from the V8's 260kW (354hp) versus the V6's 245kW (333hp), it's possible the weight savings as well as lower center of gravity of the smaller engine compensates for the reduction in output.

Audi RS5
We've already seen the RS5 acknowledged in the 2012 roll out schedule, but this document gives us a bit more. Using the same 4.2-liter V8 in the current S5, the RS5 gets a massive 70kW (96hp) bump from 260kW (354hp) to 331kW (450hp). Such an increase suggests some turbo charging shenanigans are going on, as previously speculated, however, only the 7-speed dual-clutch S-tronic transmission will be available. The RS5 hits market in July 2010.

Audi A5/S5 Sportback
The A5 Sportback will be available with 1.8 TFSI to the 3.2FSI for the petrol and 2.0 TDI to the 3.0 TDI for diesels plus all of their variants in between. However, completely unmentioned by the 2012 roll out schedule, is an S5 Sportback which receives the new 3.0-liter bi-turbo TFSI in either 6-speed manual or S-tronic7. September 2010 is the launch date.

Audi A7 Sportback
We have heard of the all new A7 model in coupe and cabriolet form, but this leaked document brings to our eyes for the first time the A7 Sportback. With only petrol and diesel V6 engines available from June 2010, a new 8 speed automatic transmission will be introduced on the 3.0-liter TDI model which launches in November 2010.

Audi S7 Sportback
Here's the blockbuster. The S7 Sportback breaks cover in November 2010, but it does not receive the 3.0-liter bi-turbo TFSI engine found in the future S4 and S5 models. Instead this baby gets an all new 4.0-liter TFSI producing 290 kW (394hp) with S-tronic7.

Audi A8 (D4)
The next generation A8 hits the market six months earlier than stated by the 2012 roll out schedule. Same V8 engines are retained and new 8 speed automatic transmission is added.

Audi R8 Spyder
Hoping for a debut at this past Detroit Auto Show, the R8 Targa or Spyder was absent. Instead we saw the R8 V12 TDI Concept debut. However, according to this leaked document the 5.2-liter V10, which was recently spotted with it's engine in view, will be available in both Coupe and Spyder variants making 386 kW (525hp). The R8 coupe launches in June 2009 and the Spyder in March 2010, both with the R-tronic sequential gearbox.

Interesting. What's with the S4 engine now? Is it bi-turbo or supercharged??

[martinbo]

Well, according to the latest news regarding Audi's new forced induction V6, the possibility of Audi offering a 3.0 TFSI bi-turbo V6 is increasingly unlikely as the new TFSI V6 is actually (who'd have thought) s... s... sup... supercharged. kerpow! lightning strikes from the heavens

Unless they completely surprise and confound rational car experts, I can't see how Audi can justify offering both a 3.0 V6 supercharged and a 3.0 V6 bi-turbo.
