2016: 2.5 TFSI with gasoline direct injection, turbocharger and intercooler:
At the Beijing Motor Show in 2016, Audi presents the new TT RS Coupe* and the new TT RS Roadster*. The five-cylinder unit has been enhanced in every area ? with lightweight construction measures, reduced internal friction, increased power delivery. From an unchanged displacement of 2,480 cc, the turbocharged engine gains a good 17 percent increase in performance. With an output of 294 kW (400 hp) it is more potent than ever before. The maximum torque of 480 newton meters (354.03 lb-ft) is available between 1,700 and 5,850 revolutions per minute. It ensures outstanding pulling power, which accompanies the unmistakable five-cylinder sound.
Marka z Ingolstadt świętuje czterdzieste urodziny swojej 5-cylindrowej konstrukcji.
2009: 2.5 TFSI with gasoline direct injection, turbocharger and intercooler: 30 years after the first five-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine was presented, Audi once again introduces a model with a five-cylinder gasoline engine and turbocharger at the Geneva Motor Show: the TT RS. The powerplant delivers 250 kW (340 hp) at 6,500 revolutions per minute from 2,480 cc and 450 newton meters (331.90 lb-ft) at 5,300 rpm. From 2011, this engine is also used in the RS 3 Sportback and from 2014 in the updated RS Q3. In the 2012 TT RS plus, the engine produces 265 kW (360 hp) at 6,700 revolutions per minute and develops 465 newton meters (342.97 lb-ft) of torque at 5,400 rpm.
Nieparzysta liczba cylindrów nie jest częstym widokiem. Przykładowo, Volvo powoli wycofuje z oferty tego typu motor, a mało który producent miał w ogóle „piątkę” w ofercie. Audi z powodzeniem jednak montuje taki silnik od kilku dekad. Początkowo trafiał on pod maskę modelu 100. Miał pojemność 2,1 litra i generował 136 KM. Z czasem ulegał modyfikacjom i zyskał bezpośredni wtrysk. Potem trafił do Audi 80 i kolejny modeli. Porównując najnowszą konstrukcję 5-cylindrową do tej pierwszej, widać lata rozwoju motoryzacji. Aktualnie oferowaną jednostkę 5-cylindrową znajdziemy na przykład w TT RS i RS3. Wyróżnia się ona świetną kulturą, dużą mocą i momentem, a do tego obłędnie brzmi. Mamy nadzieje, że dalej przez lata ten silnik będzie zapisywał się w kartach historii motoryzacji.
1994: first five-cylinder RS engine:
In 1994, the most powerful five-cylinder production engine built by Audi to date goes into action in the Audi Avant RS 2 (B4). With turbocharging, fuel injection and standard-fit emissions control, it produces 232 kW (315 hp) at 6,500 revolutions per minute from a displacement of 2,226 cc and delivers 410 newton meters (302.40 lb-ft) of torque at 3,000 rpm.
1976: first five-cylinder gasoline engine in the automotive industry:
In August 1976, Audi introduces the second-generation Audi 100 (C2) in Luxembourg. For the first time, power is provided by a five-cylinder gasoline engine in a model from the brand with the four rings. The fuel-injected engine with a displacement of 2,144 cc develops 110 kW (136 hp) at 5,700 revolutions per minute. The maximum torque of 185 newton meters (136.45 lb-ft) is available at 4,200 rpm. The market launch of the Audi 100 (C2) follows in March 1977. From September 1979, the five-cylinder engine is also available in the Audi 200; from August 1982, it is fitted in the successor to the C2, the Audi 100 C3.
