Audi ’s 4.2 FSI engine — closely related to the high-revving V8 in the Audi RS 4 — is now available for the Audi A6 and A8 model lines. With the aid of direct injection, it develops 350 hp, compared to its 335 hp predecessor. At the same time, its fuel consumption is around 10 percent lower. The new engine will be available in the new 2007 model year for all A6 models and for the standard-wheelbase and long-wheelbase versions of the A8. (U.S. pricing has not yet been announced.) The A6 3.0 TDI quattro will now also receive more power — up to 233 hp, from 225 hp. Also available for both model lines is the Audi parking system, which aids the driver with a wide-angle rear-view camera when parking. It first appeared on the Q7. In the cockpit of the Audi A8 , a 5-inch central display will be a standard feature of the driver information system, replacing the 3-inch monitor used up to now.
