Audi V6 BITURBO Manual page 2

The 2.7-litre V6 biturbo .......
Turbocharged engines are already something
of a tradition at AUDI. The task now facing
AUDI's engineers was to develop a worthy
successor to the 5-cylinder turbocharged
engine.
One of the key development goals for the
turbocharged engine was to achieve a good
level of dynamic response, particularly at the
bottom end of the rev band.
........ a further milestone in engine development by Audi!

The goal of AUDI's engineers was to realise a
high "basic torque level" and a torque
characteristic that rises in direct proportion to
engine speed to its peak.
The term "basic torque level"
describes the torque which is
immediately available when the
throttle is opened (e.g. at part
throttle or in overrun).
