What are the customer benefits of this technology?

The A1 1.4 TFSI Sport boasts an exceptional engine – 1.4 TFSI, which exemplifies Audi’s philosophy of performance and efficiency through downsizing. The lightweight four-valve engine produces a hefty 136 kW and 250 Nm of torque. The sprint from zero to 100 km/h takes just 6.9 seconds, and the top speed is 227 km/h. The secret of all this power from the small displacement of 1,390 cc is the dualcharging system. From idle, a mechanical, engine-driven supercharger provides more than 1.0 bar of relative boost pressure. The positive-displacement supercharger, which is equipped with an internal transmission, is upstream of the exhaust turbocharger. The second stage is a high-efficiency turbo which starts to join in from 1,500 rpm.
