Further proof that Audi is more than simply an alternative brand.
#9. The T in the 3.0T badge may have you thinking turbocharger, but...
With a lineup that has included models such as the turbocharged A4 1.8T and A3 2.0T, we’ve all come to associate that “T” with boosted power. The same logic has been applied to Audi’s TFSI (Turbocharged Fuel Stratified Injection) technology. Therefore, it may surprise you to discover that the 2010 Audi S4, which sports a 3.0T badge on its flanks, cranks out 333 horses and 325 lb-ft. of torque thanks to a supercharger and dual intercoolers. The other part of that name, 3.0, signifies the presence of a 3.0-liter V6 engine rather than the previous S4’s thumping 4.2-liter V8. All told, the new-and-improved 2010 S4 outdoes its predecessor by 23 lb.-ft. of twist, but gives up seven ponies in the process.
