Summary

The new 5.2-Liter-V10-FSI-Engine from Audi is the most powerful engine within the new Audi V-engine family. With up to 331 kW of power output and 540 Nm of torque it powers the luxury limousines Audi S6 and S8. The engine concept is based on the Audi V6 and V8 FSI engines, from which important parts could be adopted conceptually. A V10-specific dimensioning of charge cycle components leads to exceptional power and torque values. At the same time, the use of a split pin crankshaft in combination with a balancer shaft ensures a high level of smoothness and comfort. A very distinctive feature of the Audi V10 FSI engine in the segment of ten-cylinder engines is its high low-end torque. With this feature, the compact V10 engine underlines the character of the Audi S-models of pronounced sportiness and suitability for every day use.
