Audi’s new powertrain naming scheme won’t be applied to the brand’s U.S. models, according to Audi spokespeople.
Less than two months ago, the German brand announced that the all-new 2019 Audi A8 will introduce a new powertrain naming scheme for the brand. The automaker will trade in the familiar displacement-based scheme used today—such as 2.0T and 3.0T—for a two-digit number ranging from 30 to 70 in increments of five. The numbers applied to each new Audi model will reflect the powertrain’s power output.
Still, the two digits are largely arbitrary and represent a power range, not a specific output figure. For example, Audis marked 30 will produce between 109 and 129 horsepower, while those bearing a 45 badge make between 227 and 248 horsepower. Confused yet?
Fortunately, Audi’s U.S. customers won’t have to deal with this head-scratching naming scheme—at least for the time being.
