During the development process, Audi covered a significant portion of the raceways. The market for hybrid performance SUV can drive up to 100 km / h (62.14 mph) in electricity and covers about five miles without any problems at the local level at a speed of 60 km / h (37.28 mph). With the strong light lithium-ion batteries and many other solutions, the quattro Audi Q5 hybrid represents the state of the art.

Performance

The 2.0 TFSI engine and electric motor in the hybrid Audi Q5 is mounted directly behind the other as a parallel hybrid system - a concept straight with impressive efficiency. Together, they have a system output of 180 kW (245 hp) and torque of 480 Nm system (£ 354.03 ft). Audi Q5 Hybrid sprints from 0 to 100 km / h (62.14 mph) in 7.1 seconds, while the intermediate sprint from 80 to 120 km / h (49.71 to 74.56 mph) is achieved in fifth gear of 5.9 seconds. Propulsion ends no less than 222 km / h (137.94 mph).

In the normal cycle, the Audi Q5 Hybrid consumes 6.9 liters of fuel per 100 km (33.60 U.S. mpg) - which corresponds to the level of CO2 emissions of 159 g / km (257.50 g / km). Tank of 75 liters (19.81 gallons) can be comparable to the impressive range of the TDI.

Training

The 2.0 TFSI Audi Q5 Hybrid is a displacement of 1984 cc. Its output is 155 kW (211 hp) and torque of 350 Nm (258.15 pounds-ft) available constantly from 1500 to 4200 rpm. four-cylinder petrol unit combines direct injection with turbocharging. Audi valve lift system (AVS), in addition to more power, torque and efficiency of connecting a cylinder exhaust valves in two stages depending on load and rpm.

The 2.0 TFSI has been redesigned in some respects, for use in the hybrid Audi Q5. Powered by additional units have been lost, and the crankshaft bearing and fine tuning of the turbocharger has been adapted to specific needs. A secondary air system on the yoke so that reductions in exhaust gas treatment particularly fast. Integrated into the engine control unit controls the hybrid leader, concrete changes and smooth transitions between operating modes.

Much tiptronic is changed to eight reports of power transmission without using a torque converter. His place is taken by the electric motor in a disc combined with a multi-disc clutch in oil bath, as a couple and disconnect the electric motor and TFSI. Decoupling innovative works accurately and smoothly in any situation.

The gear extremely comfortable and fast evolving hybrid contributes significantly to the effectiveness of the hybrid Audi Q5 - the eight machines are far away. When the 2.0 TFSI is disabled, an electric pump maintains oil pressure in the hydraulic system for the convenient start-stop.

Power electronics and electric motors

The radiator tank in the engine compartment houses the power electronics. The UPS allegedly controlled by the pulse controller is used between the battery, which came out in DC, and the electric motor running on AC power. Innovative technologies to maintain the volume and weight of low power electronics, with cooling provided by a separate circuit filled with water at low temperature. The component includes a DC / DC converter that couples electrical consumer electrical system 12 V high voltage.

If the temperature exceeds a certain limit is a separate cooling circuit activated. It is connected to the main climate control system of the vehicle and uses a separate evaporator. This mechanism of active cooling is effective in a major electric hybrid system for high availability and enables the quattro Audi Q5 Hybrid is distinguished from many other hybrid cars.

Operating Modes

Audi Q5 hybrid four can run five operating modes. Drive a combustion engine alone, the use of electricity alone or in hybrid mode, it is possible, as well as recovery and improvement. Stalled - before or at the traffic lights, for example - is to guide the use of sources. Here's how "comfort" start-stop, the air conditioner is turned on. When the driver releases the brake, Four Q5 hybrid will start coasting. You can drive up to 100 km / h (62.14 mph), the electricity - almost without any noise or local emissions. At a constant speed of 60 km / h (37.28 km / h), is a series of 3 km - sufficient for many residential areas and city centers.

The driver can switch between the three programs using a button on the console shifter or. EV short feature priority to the electric car in town, the D mode controls both engines to the optimal consumption and the S mode and touch the door tiptronic is designed for sporty driving style.

If the driver accelerates rapidly, the internal combustion engine takes over and provides traction. Now the main task electric motor is to run the high-consumers and keep the battery charged. In hard acceleration, or "promote", electric motor drives with TFSI, with full power mode S card output system available. In such cases, provide a hybrid large naturally aspirated engine, but with greater efficiency.

When the driver releases the accelerator, the electric motor acts as a generator and battery power is restored. In most situations, the TFSI is then disconnected from the system unit to cause no accumulated losses. The power recovered by the electric motor and braking here protects the lithium ion batteries. If the driver brakes a bit, the electric motor itself provides the strongest deceleration brake hydraulic brake system is activated at the same time.

Use of the vehicle

The Audi Q5 Hybrid is a novel display concept, which can be every mode of behavior of the hybrid car lived. The tachometer has been replaced on the scoreboard with a "power" with a needle that indicates the total output of the system on a scale of 0 to 100. A second scale is divided into colored segments, greens and orange segments clearly indicate that the hybrid drive system Q5 quattro is currently using. An additional instrument shows the level of battery charge.

2011 Audi TT RS Review

Audi is once again producing a five-cylinder engine - and a very special. Arriving at retailers this summer, Audi TT RS is a turbocharged 2.5-liter gasoline direct injection and produces 250 kW (340 hp) and 450 Nm (331.90 lb-ft) of torque. The five-cylinder engine burn gives the Audi TT RS for making outstanding achievements. As part of quattro permanent four-wheel drive and a high-performance chassis, the engine makes the Audi TT RS compact car premium sport - available in coupe and roadster.

sports five-cylinder petrol engines have a long history of Audi. The most famous is probably the 2.1 liter turbocharged engine in the Audi quattro. The first version, launched in 1980, offered an impressive 147 kW (200 hp). Audi Sport Quattro and 1984, directly inspired by motor sport, has delivered an enormous 225 kilowatts (306 hp). For 25 years, turbo and quattro was a dynamic formula for success.

Audi has chosen to use this recipe. Designed from the ground, five-cylinder turbo engine combines direct fuel injection to raise the FSI Audi TT RS high-performance sports car. TFSI produces 250 kW (340 hp), the transition from 2480 cc (151.34 cu): a special power of 100.8 kW (137.1 hp) per liter.

Power to weight ratio is excellent. In the case of the Coupé, which weighs just 1,450 kilograms (3,196.70 pounds), power to weight ratio is only 4.3 kg / hp. Audi TT RS Roadster weighs 1,510 kilograms (3,328.98 pounds) and power to weight ratio 4.4 kg / hp - thanks to the ultra-lightweight aluminum frame and largely built around the principles of Audi Space Frame.

The Audi TT RS coupe rockets from 0 to 100 km / h (0 to 62.14 km / h) in 4.6 seconds, the Audi TT RS Roadster needs only a tenth of a second. The speed limit of 250 kmh (155.34 mph) is the official figure of the two versions as an option, Audi can increase to 280 km / h (173.98 mph).

Almost more impressive is the attraction aggressive. Torque of 450 Nm (331.90 Nm) is available between 1600 and 5300 rpm. In addition, the Audi TT RS passes without the slightest effort. Last but not least, the engine makes the skin of the passengers' tingling again and again thanks to the rapid and effective response, inspiring free-roaming nature, tailpipes and his sore unequivocal: the five-cylinder Audi classical music!

Compact and lightweight: The five-cylinder TFSI

As a motor sports car without compromise, the 2.5-liter TFSI is ultra-compact. Only 49 centimeters (19.29 inches) long, making it ideal for transverse installation in the Audi TT RS. And weighing just 183 kilograms (403.45 pounds), also set a record. The casing is made of vermicular graphite cast. This high tech material attaches the greatest strength with low weight, was also used for more Audi TDI engines. Perfectly located reinforcements improve the capacity for load. Light cylinder head, pistons and connecting rods are light weight and high strength.

The ultra-powerful engine with five cylinders is extremely fuel efficient, requiring an average of only 9.2 l/100 km [25.57 mpg] in terms Coupé (cabriolet: 9.5 l/100 km [24, 76 mpg]). switchable flaps in the intake manifold air mixture entering a configuration calculated. Injected with a pressure up to 120 bar common rail system, the gasoline intense vortices in the combustion chamber - which in turn cools the walls. This then facilitates a 10.0:1 compression ratio of which is very high for a turbo engine. The two adjustable camshafts, driven by chains, also to improve the charging efficiency of air-fuel mixture.

The turbocharger generates high as 1.2 bar boost pressure. The intercooler, fully supplied with air at the bottom of the inner grid, reducing the temperature of air compressed by over 80 percent at full load.

When the standard Audi TT RS Sport driver presses the button on the center tunnel, the flap installed on the left exhaust pipe exhaust system makes the noise even stronger and more powerful at the same time, increasing engine responsiveness. The optional sport exhaust system is available in matte black exhaust emissions and sound flip.

For the purists, the kinematics.

The Audi TT RS is the classic sports car family first Audi RS. Like the Audi RS4 Audi RS6 and Audi TT RS was developed by quattro GmbH so pure, no holds barred driving machine. A new six-speed manual transmission transmits the enormous power of the engine, and allows easy operation and precise thanks to a display shifter specially designed tours especially short passage. defining the transmission characteristics are a high rate of return and sports tight space ratios.

The Audi TT RS has quattro permanent all standard equipment. His heart is in the rear, an electronic control, hydraulic clutch blinds. If the situation requires it, the clutch directs most of the input torque of the front wheels to the rear wheels.

Within milliseconds, a powerful electric pump with battery weighs together through a hydraulic clutch. Four added power line falls at a constant speed, before the 'common propeller shaft and a compact rear axle differential - both are heavy elements.

Subsidies quattro, Audi TT RS outstanding fascinating dynamics and excellent stability. Dissolution of rural areas or a few laps on a circuit to allow top management to shine. Accurate and sensitive direction, the instant reaction of the chassis, neutrality to the limit in the curves, the traction out of a curve, and - again and again - exciting motor power: every mile on an Audi TT RS distilled distills the essence of sportsmanship.

High-tech Audi Excellence: chassis and body

Audi Locus Review

The name LOCUS means a condition that defines a continuous figure which is a curve. The main characteristics of the design are the way its surface shapes are formed with a continuous flow from front until the back of the car. Inspiration for that was obviously the Mother Nature we deal with daily but somehow we usually do not realize that everything in the nature has somehow its specific curves and flowing lines it is very rarely to spot perfectly straight lines. The main goal was to implement this design aspect into a car which creates a relaxing, energetic, vibrant and confident feeling.

It is clear to see a curved sharp edged line that starts at the very front, flowing through the middle section, slightly curved down after the A pillar and then going back up again at the rear wheel arches to follow its way back until the diffuser. This same curve language is also applied to the greenhouse and the way windows are shaped. The front is somehow aggressive looking with the traditional AUDI grill and air intakes that are shaped very much like the headlights to create a coherent feeling.

The rear section is obviously very organic with defined curves and subtle details, tail lights are designed to have integrated air outtakes underneath them to avoid any unnecessary details. With dual exhaust and fairly empty rear section, it creates a feeling of subtleness. Another feature is the air intake at the end of the roof which is designed to avoid any distracting design elements on the top of the car combining elegance with functionality.

2011 Audi TTS Coupe Review

Bold, aggressive styling sends a clear message of performance and dynamic handling, while a complement of turbocharged engines delivers class-leading power and efficiency.

A more aggressive front bumper is fitted with a high-gloss black lattice on the Audi TT, and larger, lower intakes that increase airflow to the engine.

Horizontal chrome cross braces adorn the trapezoidal grille on the Audi TTS, while new honeycomb-style air intakes flank the sides. The fog lights on the Audi TT are mounted in a set of chrome rings, and high-intensity headlights are standard on the Audi TT quattro® Coupe, Audi TT quattro Roadster, TTS quattro Coupe and TTS quattro Roadster. All models feature 12 LEDs at the lower edge of the headlamps to serve as daytime running lights.
Viewed in profile, the Audi TT conveys a sense of poise and speed, with large fender arches housing stylish wheel options providing a powerful posture. In coupe form, a long, arching roofline epitomizes the classic profile of the Audi TT, while short overhangs in the front and rear lend a sporting, well-balanced stance.
The rear of the 2011 Audi TT is a classic coupe design. The roofline seamlessly blends into the rear deck, giving the TT an athletic appearance when viewed from behind. Integrated taillights follow the TT subtle bodyline and incorporate a third LED tail lamp, while floating reflectors add visual depth to the rear end.
When equipped with the 2.0 TFSI, larger dual tailpipes flank a flat black diffuser, while an electronically controlled spoiler deploys at 75 mph to improve downforce.

The exterior upgrades to both the Audi TT Coupe and TT Roadster add a total of 0.79 inches, increasing the overall length to 13.74 feet. The 8.1 foot wheelbase remains unchanged, as does the width of just more than six feet (6.04) and the height of 4.44 feet for the Coupe and 4.45 feet for the Roadster.

Audi TT RS Racing Car

Audi’s technical development department TE (“Tech Recess Entwicklung”) has amused himself with hustrimmaren quattro GmbH and developed a racing version of the TT RS. The background is that you feel pressure from racing enthusiasts to get a (cheaper?) Alternative to R8 LMS. The car is built to participate in 24-hour racing at Nürgburgring after VLN-regulation that exists, or “Veranstaltergemeinschaft Lang Line Trophy Nurburgring” as it’s actually called.

VLN is one of several operators who run the 24-hour race at the Nurburgring and the Audi TT RS SP 4T will be tested during the last two this year, 16 and 30 October. Drivers will be Marc Hennerici and Christopher Mies, who is running for the Austrian Team Raeder Motorsport. Audi and quattro GmbH have tried to keep costs down by using components from R8 LMS and do not alter the wheelbase. However, – as we see – a gauge of substantially broadened by at least said large wheel arch extensions. How much power is picked out of the 2.5-liter turbo fifth grade are not reported but probably put it on a “moderate” level to get good reliability.
