The 2018 Audi Power Roundup
A closer look at 3 of the most powerful models from Audi
After one hundred years of automotive engineering evolution, the modern driver deserves power. Audi Cary understands, which is why this month, we’re honoring the top three most powerful models in the Audi lineup. And the winners are… (Please imagine a drumroll in your head.)
Most Horsepower
The 2018 Audi R8 Coupe (pictured above) uses a 5.2-liter FSI® dual-injection V10 plus engine to produce an astonishing 610 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque. That’s more than enough to get you there on time in comfort and style. With a top speed of 205 mph and 0-60 time of just 3.2 seconds, this luxury magic carpet can practically take flight.
Most Towing Capacity
The 2018 Audi Q7 comes with a standard 3.0-liter TFSI® engine capable of producing up to 333 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque and propelling this three-row luxury SUV over mountains and down the interstate with equal ease. Not only can you seat up to seven passengers comfortably on the inside, but you can also tow up to 7,700 lbs. That’s a boat or a couple of jet skis on a trailer,(AKA "an incredibly fun way to spend a weekend").
Most Powerful Hybrid
The 2018 A3 Sportback e-tron® combines a revolutionary liquid-cooled, permanent-magnet-driven 75 kW electric motor with a 1.4-liter turbocharged TFSI® engine. This modern marvel puts out a more-than-capable combined 204 hp and 258 lb-ft of instant torque. What’s really impressive is that this luxury sedan cruises down the highway at a top speed of 130 mph with an EPA-estimated 83 MPGe combined.* The future is now.
These are just the top three models on our list, and there are many more feats of strength from Audi we would love to tell you about. So chug that energy drink, down that double espresso, or crush whatever rocket fuel you’re consuming, and come see us at Audi Cary or contact us to learn more about the powerful options we have in our showroom.
