If you’re interested in a particular topic, please email us at [email protected]. We hope you enjoy the series! What makes an Audi “S” car or SUV worthy of its badge? The easiest answer is the balance of performance and design. But, Audi’s engineers often raise the bar a bit further, with one of the latest examples found in the new Electric-Powered Compressor (EPC) in the 2020 Audi S6 and S7 models. Brought to the U.S. market for the first time in the Audi S6 and S7, the EPC comes paired to the 2.9-liter, twin-turbocharged TFSI® V6 engine. It consists of an electric motor with a small turbine that helps quickly build turbo boost pressure, sharpening throttle response and reducing any noticeable turbo “lag.” 1/3 The EPC takes advantage of our latest-generation 48V mild hybrid electrical architecture, supplying electric energy generated during coasting and recuperation to the vehicles’ 9.6 Ah lithium-ion battery. From there, the battery provides the electric motor energy to accelerate turbine located downstream of the engine’s turbochargers to quickly increase pressure, aiding engine responsiveness and torque delivery. The entire EPC system adds just 10 kg (22 lbs) to the vehicles’ overall weight and reduces response time to less than 250 milliseconds, faster than an average human’s reaction time. The compressor is located downstream of the engine’s parallel twin turbochargers and upstream of the air-to-water intercooler, pushing cooler air through the engine’s two throttle bodies and into its cylinders with higher force. At lower engine speeds, the EPC activates at speeds up to 70,000 RPM. This helps the engine operate similar to the smoothness of a naturally aspirated, non-turbocharged, engine. When the V6 TFSI engine is operating at higher speeds, a valve for the EPC closes, leaving a parallel path for air to move throughout the engine. However, the EPC is always operating, even when idle, ready to respond to the driver’s needs for more power. Both the Audi S6 and S7 are rated at 444 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque—37 lb-ft more than their V8 TFSI-powered predecessors. More importantly than numbers, however, is drivability, control and agile responsiveness, where the 2.9-liter V6 TFSI with EPC excels. In internal tests that simulate real-world standing starts, the latest powertrain exhibits response characteristics that rival Audi’s torque-rich, turbocharged 4.0-liter TFSI V8. Yet, the 2020 S6 and S7 offer 22% greater EPA-estimated fuel-efficiency with its downsized V6 engine compared to their predecessors without sacrificing performance.

  • 2011 Audi A6/S6 Media Information
    Audi MediaInfo Audi of America Communications Jeff Kuhlman Tel.: +1 703 364 7423 Mob.: +1 248 622 3703 E-Mail: [email protected] The 2011 Audi A6 and S6 HERNDON, Va., November 1, 2010 – The Audi A6 has established itself as a benchmark of luxury and performance in the ever-growing business sedan segment. In 2011, the Audi A6 raises this bar with more standard amenities and updated styling – without additional cost. With a host of available engines, including the powerful yet fuel-efficient supercharged 3.0 TFSI® and the vivacious 5.2 FSI® V10, there is an Audi A6 or S6 to meet the needs of any discerning driver. The Design | Undeniable presence now with S line standard The Audi A6 builds on some of the most successful elements of Audi design, with a large, Singleframe® grille dominating the otherwise subtle nose of the Audi A6 and available high- intensity headlights with LED daytime running lights adding a powerful road presence. Now standard on the 2011 Audi A6, the S line® front fascia and exterior trim further accentuate the impression of speed. Along both sides, the Audi A6 presents an image of refinement with reserved, muscular fender arches and elegant chrome accents bright work around the greenhouse. The relatively long wheelbase of 111.9 inches gives the Audi A6 a stately appeal, and large, progressive wheel choices offer a splash of style. The long, aerodynamic styling of the Audi A6 sedan and drag coefficient of just 0.29 helps deliver exceptional fuel economy. The Audi A6 has a sporty rear design dominated by two prominent LED taillights, while a relatively short trunk deck gives the sedan an almost coupe-like appearance, and two prominent exhaust ports lend the impression of engine power and speed.
