Audi has announced a new 1.8-liter turbo engine for the A3.

We talked about it a couple of weeks ago, together with a 2.8 V6 FSI ValveLift, but now it's official:
160 PS;
250 Nm of torque;
top speed of 220 km/h;
8,2 seconds from 0-100 km/h
and a price about 500 € higher compared to the A3 2.0 FSI.

This new turbo-charged engine will probably be present soon all over the Volkswagen-Audi Group's brands. According to Autoweek.nl it should become the base engine for the new TT.
