I can't see the link you posted...
Yes, you have right, I rememberd that M550d has that engine sound trough souns sistem...
..what about the 2.0l bi-tdi engine? will we see finally on the new a3 and next golv vii? this engine is currently available for amarok pick-up (180hp)and audi has to challenge bmw 125d (biturbo-218hp-450nm)
?till today I read only about golf vii GTI 2.0 tfsi developing 230hp and gtd 190hp ( http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/n...k-7-2012-01-30 ),never read about the same amount of power on the tdi.I hope your info it's true,will bring audi over bmw on 2.0 tdi engine
This engine will be the makings of the Q5. The chassis is so capable of coping with more.
Autocar are one of the ones saying the GTD will get 220hp plus they say the GTI will muster 260hp.

Hanging the tail out is Vanity
but choosing AWD is Sanity
Well, that is going to be oponent to current BMW X3 xDrive35d, 3.0 - 313 ps... What will happend when you get that X3 trough Mperformance program!?
Info' that Joker stated is closer to mine, and it has more sense... Currently, in A4 and A6, 2.0 TDI producing 177 hp, and there are roumores that upcoming A3 will be having that same engine with 180 hp!
220-230hp for 2.0 bi-turbo sounds totaly reasoneble to me!
it's going to be the 3.0 BiTDI with 313 hp in the SQ5
@ Joker & AndyBG: thanks, I hope we will see soon this fab engine.
Yes gtd biturbo 220hp may offset bmw 125d, I guess there will be a 4motion version of it too
Now I saw the link... It doesn't have sound, like every other diesel!
Here is the explanation how it works...!
