Next-Gen Audi 3.0-Liter TDI Delivers 272 HP And 442 LB-FT

So it's either this one or the BiTDI? Awesome if so!

That will do me, 100 more bhp and a 3.0 litre.

I'll keep mine for another 12 months/when that is released and see how the figures stack up.

I intend to hang on for the C8.

I thought the current engine figures were 242/428 bhp/lb-ft vice the 240/406 quoted at the link. I'm not saying that the extra 26 bhp (the engine is 272ps not bhp) won't be nice will the area under the curve be sufficiently different to really notice? Equally diesels are all about torque in which case how much difference will the extra 14lb-ft (or 3%) really make to real worl performance?

I guess the improved emissions will be the big benefit, however, I thought I read the new engine will need Ad blue? In which case I'm happy with the current 3.0L lump which is smooth and powerful enough for me and doesn't require the adative.

Yes but, it will be an Ultra! ULTRA!!

Oh it's an Ultra, what was I thinking that makes all the difference.... But wait just a minute this AdBlue what is it exactly? Ah yes it's an Aqueous Urea Solution, and urea is..... So give something a cool name and as well as having to add the you can also take the as I'm sure there will be a price premium!

Slightly tongue in cheek as I'm sure it'll be a great engine but couldn't resist.
