UK article on new bi-turbo 3.0 TDI in A6/A7

Nice to see this engine in something more than a eTron show car.
This should make it into the next iteration of the Q7.
308 HP and 480 lb/ft would really be nice.
The current 3.0 TDI is what, 225 hp and 406 lb/ft?

Hopefully this is the engine that will power the new TDi here in the USA

They need to step it up and compete against BMWs new triturbo "M" producing 376 hp between 4,000 rpm and 4,400 rpm along with a sturdy 545 lb-ft of torque between 2,000 rpm and 3,000 rpm.

And it won't be coming to the USA due to Nitrous oxide emissions. SIGH..

That and the neu Audi A6 Kombi isn's currently offered for sale in N. America - which is a market mis-que if you ask this former UrS6 kombi owner.

Man,,, make my 3.0tt TDI A6 Kombi with metallic silver over black leather.
