That is why Porsche is rumored to have selected the next iteration of Audi's 3.0L V6, which will deliver over 300hp. BMW already achieves such power densities with its sequentially boosted inline six, so it is likely Audi will be using the same strategy to uprate its own design. It's quite likely that a T2B5 version with urea injection for the US market is in the works as well, though there has been no official announcement to that effect.

It's highly unlikely Porsche would choose to offer VW's old V10 diesel, as it's heavy, relatively thirsty and based on unit injector technology. Audi has long been using common rail and, the VW brand decided a while back to switch to it as well - the 2.0L mill in the Tiguan is the first example. Third generation common rail supports pressures of up to 2000 bar and multiple injections per combustion cycle, so emissions and NVH behavior can be optimized simultaneously throughout the engine map.]]>Mar 2nd 2008 3:14PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/02/porsche-warming-to-diesels/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/02/porsche-warming-to-diesels/Mar 2nd 2008 6:20PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/02/porsche-warming-to-diesels/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/02/porsche-warming-to-diesels/
BMW diesel operates serially at low speeds, and then it transitions to is large turbo at the top end.
It is serial-sequential.

BMW's gasoline engine is parallel twin turbo.]]>Mar 2nd 2008 7:44PM
