Efficiency and future production use

For years now, Audi has been utilizing TFSI technology in their production cars. This new rendition of their DTM racing engine brings Audi race cars closer to their road production counterparts. The engine boasts performance advantages over its predecessor DTM engine through its lightweight design and reduced size. The class one Audi RS5 Turbo DTM race car that houses the engine provides a go-kart like driving experience with extreme agility. The race car weighs just over 1,000 kilograms giving it a power-to-weight ratio of about 3.5 pounds per horsepower, putting it close to Bugatti Veyron SS territory. The engine's "push-to-pass" feature allows the driver to gain an additional 30 horsepower for five seconds up to twelve times per driving session. The fuel flow restrictor is negated and allows for an increased rev limiter up to 9,500 RPMs providing more thrust. The function primarily serves to provide easier acceleration past other race cars at higher speeds. The motor runs on RON102 pump fuel and has a limited fuel flow rate of 24.7 gallons per hour, abiding by new Class one regulations. Similar to diesel engines, specific consumption of the RC8 is extremely low and this specific switch has aided in balancing power with efficiency. The added power and reduced weight over the RC8's predecessor should allow for top speeds of around 190 miles per hour. It is unlikely that the RC8 will arrive in road production cars. However Ulrich Baretzky, Head of Engine Development at Audi Motorsport, states "we're pointing out a few approaches that will hopefully find their way into future road-going vehicles" especially true under the context of eco-friendliness and avoiding C02 emissions. Audi seeks further development of their internal combustion engines in an effort to provide high-efficiency and extremely high eco-friendliness. Similar to the case of the first TFSI for the Audi Le Mans as well as the TDI, it is possible many technological improvements could show their way into road production vehicles.
