“Owners of Audi TDI engines have helped save over 4 million gallons of gasoline, or the equivalent of more than 240,000 barrels of foreign oil, since the introduction of Audi TDI to the U.S. in 2009**,” said Scott Keogh, President, Audi of America. ” And, TDI technology delivers better fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance.”

All four models will be powered by a new 3.0 liter TDI clean diesel engine that generates 240 horsepower with 406 lb.-ft. of torque. The A8 TDI reaches 0-60 in 6.4 seconds and is rated at 24 MPG in the city and 36 MPG on the highway.
