Audi adds 1.2 liter turbo to Audi A3 range
The Volkswagen Group’s new 1.2 liter TFSI engine from the Polo and the Ibiza will be installed into their C-segment Audi A3 and A3 Sportback hatches.
The 1.2 liter TSI SOHC engine produces 175Nm of torque between 1,500 to 3,500rpm and makes 105 PS. The engine is constructed with an aluminum crankcase and uses 2 valves per cylinder for a total of 8 valves. A water-cooled intercooler is integrated into the intake manifold, cooling down the air coming from the 1.6 bar turbocharger.
It’s an engine designed to be both wallet-friendly and environmentally-friendly (rated at 51.3mpg – 18.16km per liter and 127g/km of CO2) so acceleration times are very very far from blistering – 11.1 seconds for the 3-door and 11.3 seconds for the 5-door Sportback.
The new 1.2 liter A3 will make its debut at the Frankfurt show alongside two other models – the S5 Sportback powered by the company’s 333 PS 3.0 liter supercharged V6, and a 3.0 liter TDI clean diesel (with AdBlue injection) quattro Audi A4 using the engine from the Audi Q7.

Oh… its a gasoline engine. Lovely engine!
And what is water cooled intercooler?
August 29, 2009 @ 12:24 pm
the intercooler is water cooled to reduce engine overheating after long distance journey. the intercooler has a water spray.

price does matter! this could be the “My First Audi”
August 30, 2009 @ 1:50 pm
Cool. I like it. Wouldn’t mind having one, but it has to be a four-door.
August 30, 2009 @ 5:25 pm
I fancy the 3-door version. But then it’s an Audi, I wonder what the price will be if it comes here…
September 1, 2009 @ 9:16 am
i bet that should the car comes here, nothing less than RM 100K.
who are we kidding? it’s an audi and it’s not a car for everyone.

Dun be fooled by its smaller engine.For 1.2cc producing a whopping 105ps and 175nm of torque is no mean feat.Thats equalevant to 1.6cc cars.Trend in europe nowadays to produce more smaller capacity cars with huge power for cost effectiveness and environment.Just look at Peugeot 307 SW 1.6 mini MPV turbo.The acceleration from starting point are almost on par with 2 litre NA cars!
