Audi S5 Wins Fifth Consecutive 'Ward's 10 Best Engines Award'
Audi has been named a winner in the 20th annual Ward’s 10 Best Engines competition for the Audi S5. This marks the fifth consecutive win for the Audi 3.0 TFSI® V6 engine. Wards Auto editors tested 44 engines and scored each based on power, noise, vibration, drivability, packaging, fuel economy, technical relevance and specifications. This year’s nominees consist of 36 gasoline engines (including four hybrids), six diesels and two battery-electrics. Audi will be among those honored at an awards ceremony to be held during the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on January 15, 2014. The Audi S5 represents the rapid advancements of Audi engine development and overall trend of downsized engines among this year's winners. The powertrain generates 333 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque at 5,500rpm while at the same time delivering excellent fuel efficiency. The Audi 3.0 liter TFSI V6 engine benefits from the combination of FSI® direct injection and supercharging to create impressive torque generated over a wide range of the torque curve, making full power usable at any speed.
The 3.0 TFSI V6 engine powers a total of seven Audi vehicles including the Audi S5, the A8 luxury sedan, A7 5-door coupe, A6, Q7 full-size luxury sport-utility vehicle, Q5 mid-size sport-utility vehicle, as well as the S4 luxury-sport sedan.
