Audi A4 Avant 2.0 TFSI: gone in 6.5 seconds

Although the common European currency keeps getting stronger against the dollar beating one historical maximum after another, the European automakers still have no problems at selling their cars. At least, when it comes to such refined street-legal performance vehicles as the new Audi A4 Avant 2.0 TFSI sports wagon.



The vehicles, Audi states in its press release, will be equipped with WAG's refreshed TFSI 2.0-liter four-banger. Capable of delivering up to 211hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, the engine features an increase in power of 11hp and in peak torque of 51 lb-ft. With all this power available, the Audi A4 Avant 2.0 TFSI takes only 6.5 seconds to jump from zero to 60mph.


The Avant will be available in the U.S. starting October, 2008. Price is yet to be announced.
