The advanced design places the exhaust inside the engine’s V-shape while the air intake is positioned on the outside of the V. This segment-exclusive design naturally improves a variety of attributes: Shorter airflow from the exhaust system to the turbocharger sitting between the engine’s cylinder banks improves turbo responsiveness.

A photovoltaic array was installed at the site for this purpose. The core of each of these individual cells is a polymer membrane, with a platinum-based catalyst on both sides of the membrane. Because the exhaust system only has to handle water vapor, it is made of weight-saving plastic. The Fuel Cell Stack.

Their outer skin is made from aluminum-coated polymer and this in turn brings weight advantages. Under a venture with the motto “From Road to Grid”, Audi is therefore currently working on a concept to convert old batteries into stationary energy stores. The plate has an integrated primary coil and an inverter (AC/AC converter).

The 250 V Lithium polymer batteries (40 Ah, 4V per cell) are made by KOKAM and are housed within the inboard part of the wings outside the cockpit and provided with venting and passive cooling. New batteries with a higher energy density will be installed later on, which will increase the endurance to up to 1 hour 30 min.

KG of Esslingen (Germany) uses bushings made of DuPont Vespel TP polyimide to position and guide the cylindrical operating rods of EGR slip-in valves (EGR = Exhaust Gas Recirculation). Polyimides have been a key class of polymers for DuPont since the 1960s, when Kapton film and Vespel parts and shapes were first commercialized.

A few examples: A polymer coating was applied to the main and connecting rod bearings; a coating of special hard materials was applied to the piston rings; and special modifications were made to the bearing shells and piston play. Full integration of the exhaust manifold in the cylinder head lets the 1.4 Charging up.

The Audi valve lift system (AVS) further increases power, torque and efficiency by switching the stroke of the exhaust valves between two stages depending on the load and rpm. A secondary air system at the cylinder head makes sure that the exhaust gas treatment cuts in particularly quickly. The turbocharged gasoline direct injection 2.0
