New audi's BiTurbo TDI engines are so much powerful and better sounding than a 3.0 TFSI

@aleksandaraleksic4067 8 лет назад

+William RS Yes they are, in A6 Allroad Quattro it sounds as good as RS6.

@bicyclist2 6 лет назад

Audi has won Le Mans repeatedly in a Diesel. Nuff said! Thanks.

@ninefors 11 лет назад

LOL i love how MPG is always in the first place... no one considers that the diesel costs hell lot more in the start, and is ALOT more expensive to maintain.. not to mention that this is no old school VAG ultra reliable diesel engine from the 90's..

@Gred079 11 лет назад

this is very well made ! you really deserve more ill try to spread the word

@EeekiE 11 лет назад

God he has that really irritating 'Fifth Gear' review voice.

@FColl1 11 лет назад

I've got an A6 Bi-turbo avant and it is awesomely quick, as well as having lots of tech to play with. The engine note is actually lovely (though it is helped by an actuator in the exhaust) and heads turn when you drive down the road!

@athlete35392 11 лет назад

Purely fun related point. It is not fun seeing your car sitting at 23 mpg, it is never fun filling up your car. What is very fun is torque induced country road/motorway overtake :)

@TomNyon 9 лет назад

I like both very much and yes the buyers for both will be different. I did have a e46 330i before, that was great fun, but its consumption wasn't. The a7 tdi we have isn't as fun, but on the motorway that torque just makes the ride so effortless. So in reality id have a petrol and diesel car, but the petrol for a weekend car and the diesel for my cruise to work or the mountains. But either way, you can't go wrong with the tfsi or the Bitdi.

@TomNyon 9 лет назад

***** Rs5 cabriolet and the A7 Bitdi ;)

@foxhounduk2k8 11 лет назад

Brilliant review! This guy is one of the best automotive journalists out there. The only thing I would've liked was more talk about the engine and torque on that diesel, seeing that that was what the video was primarily about .

@supermario95PT 11 лет назад

This is, no doubt, one of the best car channels on youtube, please keep the videos coming :) I hope one day you guys will get as many views and subs as you deserve!

@lordzevallos 11 лет назад

This channel is right on par with motortrend & drive

@PvtPetrenko1 11 лет назад

awesome channel, absolute perfect camera work, and finally people who take diesel cars serious, thanks, subbed immediately

@faisalleeds 11 лет назад

Very good comparison. Good to see something relevant and well researched and not just 2 random cars pitched head 2 head. So it looks like is new biTdi is faster or as quick as than the main rival BMW 535D and also the quick petrol S4 and S5 models! Pretty impressive from Audi.

@peterthompson9854 11 лет назад

I can imagine sitting in my Audi R8 (or my Porsche Cayman, or my ageing XKR), feeling smug, and getting burnt at the lights by a Large diesel family car. This car is a real game changer. Can we call most dedicated sports cars or any hot hatch fast now?

@SWatchik 11 лет назад

in fact they post a more consistent quality of videos than motortrend, and show a wide range of tuner cars and classics which is really interesting and more useful for those of us who cant afford all the supercars

@TomWaitForItMajor 11 лет назад

Great stuff like always! Always loved Audi's. My dad had a 2005 A6 3.0 S line diesel and now he has a 2006 Q7 4.2 and it accelerates like a beast! Cant image what this thing does with almost the same amount of horsepower and lighter on the wheels

@NOORYOUNIS 11 лет назад

This one of the best put together videos ive seen in a while. While the effects where kinda cheesy lol yes i said cheesy, the review itself was very informative and professional, good job

@RussellRobinson77 11 лет назад

glad to see this comparison made!

@alfamonk 11 лет назад

More info on how each car flows down the road, driving it in manual mode, weight differences over the front axle and how that affects handling would've been good...

@hunghuge12 11 лет назад

That's the second one I've watched in the last half hour. Subscribed. Sorry but someone said Motortrend? This is way better. Not only is it better filmed and dubbed but it's also not got Johnny Lieberman trying to prove black is blue because he wants to be different. Presenter bloke stick your name up because you're bloody good at it.

@jflintham45 11 лет назад

Thank you Top Gear for showing this to me! Fantastic channel!!!

@upload9595 11 лет назад

I've been searching for a proper review of the 3.0 Bi-TDI. Now i found it. Only one thing is missing - drive them fast on a track and tell us if the torque vectoring differential works better with the diesel. (because there is more torque for vectoring :D ) Subbed.

@janssonbre 11 лет назад

This really is a very underestimated channel

@alps4391 5 лет назад

I’ve got the SQ5 with the 3.0Bi TDI and it’s a superb engine, with today’s fuel prices, constant government crackdown on speed and the typical British road the big petrol engine just don’t make sense anymore..

@kurtrusellpatrickswayze 11 лет назад

You could get some serious, and I mean serious torque with that.

@davecom3 11 лет назад

Get this chap, Chris Harris, and Matt Farah on TV and their collective talents should be enough to worry Top Gear. TG is fun and all, but there's only so many times you can start off hating a car and then loving it review, or the start of loving it but hating it in the end review.

@jdonegan92 11 лет назад

Never heard of your channel. Top Gear liked this video so it came into my feed ;) Watched the video, loved it, subscribed. Well done!

@MS7.7 11 лет назад

From the second I opened this video I subscribed. Keep it up.

@TheEpicSpaniardRS 11 лет назад

Great stuff! I came here because top gear liked your video, and I can see why they did!

@Everspy 11 лет назад

The trip computer on my Audi A4 has always been very optimistic, reading 5+ mpg over reality.

@stefanwuest4559 11 лет назад

I have exactly this diesel! the car is absolutely fantastic! S-Line 3.0 BiTDI black optics exterior, 20-inch wheels. greetings from switzerland!

@manyakols9 11 лет назад

diesels are great! only problem i have with them is that the redline is WAY TOOO LOW

@derbigpr500 11 лет назад

Its not underdeveloped, its overengineered in every single way, but for quality, refinement and longevity, not for maximum power. You know...how much power an engine produces is not a show of its quality.

@Lukeskywanka 11 лет назад

very nice review. Thank You

@farismohammed7861 11 лет назад

this was an awesome video. keep it up

@Kaipeternicolas 11 лет назад

Too bad they didn't have the A6 3,0 tdi with that V8 active sound. Because most people who chose a petrol over a diesel argue that the petrol sounds better.

@usandutz 9 лет назад

very nice review!

@gnormzz42 10 лет назад

lmfao!! 'Audis last 1st,2nd,3rd owners grandchildren' i burst out in laughter, bullshit bullshit bullshit

@Hekkie 9 лет назад

nope, it's true. Where I live one of the very few car brands that managed to produce cars that had were actually able to still drive without rusting away or being too expensive to repair was Audi. VW group cars in general actually.

@TomNyon 8 лет назад

+Greg Norman obv you don't a lot about audis.

@16blank45 11 лет назад

I was impressed with the review of the old Toyota Supra. So impressed was I that I had to subscribe.

@regularguy316 11 лет назад

LOL, in a few years, you'll see this car on Wheeler Dealers, being sold for £2k. Ed will be talking about how back in the day, this car had amazing technology, but none of it works now and he's got to fix it all. To buy this part from an Audi dealer is £10,000, but I managed to pick up one from the scrap yard for 52 pence ;o)

@pakalins666 11 лет назад

why the dubstep? :/ i sooo wanted to hear how those both sound like

@IsaacDavis69 11 лет назад

This is an amazing video.

@weed46 11 лет назад

Tell me that a engine from a M3 isn't refined... is silky smooth, sounds great and is realiable, I mean, NA engines are normaly more reliable than forced induction ones

@alex-cristianconstantin7936 4 года назад

The title sounds almost ironic in 2019.

@edwealleans 11 лет назад

Yay! an awesome car review! Subscribed.

@weed46 11 лет назад

You have a good point, but still, the engine is underdeveloped, it's a "cheap" engine... The torque is higher, but the power should be more than 300hp for a forced induction engine, for sure it runs out of boost in higher rpm... Audi has the knolodge to do much better... look at the new 4.0 V8, it's a powerhouse!

@925boosting 11 лет назад

I'd buy the Diesel and remap it. Turbo has more room to gain HP than a supercharger not to mention it gets better gas mileage.

@AruEsse 11 лет назад

Who won the 24 hours of le mans this year (and every year since 2006)? Diesels. Audi diesels. 3rd gen. diesels only share the fuel with tractor engines. A proper modern diesel sounds way closer to a petrol engine than a tractor engine, and revs at least to 5000 rpm, still slow compared to petrol engines but reasonable if you consider you get full torque at 2000. Don't like them? Don't buy them! But please use your brain.

@burrogrande 11 лет назад

How about a engine/exhaust noice comparison?

@liltliltliltlilt 10 лет назад

You should have had the colours the other way round, it kept confusing me.

@alteclansing3333 11 лет назад

I just love the effortless pull of diesel engines, but for extra power when u need to floor it, turbo petrol's are the way to go

@MrUnderEstimated 11 лет назад

hello i dont know about cars but are you telling us that the diesel won over petrol by its power? i dont get it why? petrol cars should be stronger or better than diesel when it comes to performance

@NLS87 11 лет назад

NO! Diesels are the most dependable internal combustion engines. They are used in tanks, submarines, industrial machines (also agricultural), most trucks, and almost all electrical generators for surges are diesel engines. They can run in biodiesel, auto-diesel and jet fuel (A1). The only thing that's more dependable than diesel are electric motors.

@morganbagert 11 лет назад

For long journeys diesel is the way to go. The torque is also nice to have when wafting along motorways.

@raviyadav46 11 лет назад

diesel is my choice.. great review bro..!! can you please tell me the name of the music please..!!

@SZYBKIErece 11 лет назад

Where is the drag race!!?

@kevin71127 11 лет назад

Yeah, that's probably true. The real issue is the fact that anything that poses a threat to money-making petrol monopolies is immediately managed. So in the U.S., our diesel is vastly more expensive than regular gas, and our electric cars are archaic compared to other countries.

@tutzgureanu1981 11 лет назад

perfectly said

@KorCaz 11 лет назад

surely the two turbos will take care of that?

@dhughes1969 11 лет назад

Why would a car company care if you wanted a diesel or gas car? Once they sell you the car and get your money their job is done. Diesel was really cheap for decades most times 50% less than gas but it shot up the last decade due to more people buying diesel vehicles.

@peterthompson9854 11 лет назад

Great, great video BTW. Tops for entertainment. Love Xcar

@timmie426 11 лет назад

I like diesel torque but it isn't entertaining at all... At 3500-4000 rpm and over the car starts to lose power, i hate that

@korimafi 11 лет назад

Yes, it is !!!!!

@jumoga3313 11 лет назад

@LancelotMooreYorke 11 лет назад

I dont even like motortrend or drive, i think this is better :)

@FotografIasi 11 лет назад

unfortunate diesels are a bit more complicated engines, more frail and on the long run, even if you pay less for the diesel, you have other repair expenses and more problems might occur.

@morganbagert 11 лет назад

I am not so sure the petrol v6 3.0 supercharged will go from 333bhp to easily over 400bhp on a remap.

@TheAndiBay 11 лет назад

nice shoes

@davide30541 11 лет назад

not quite yet BUT on its way :D

@weed46 11 лет назад

This TFSI engine is so underdeveloped compared to the diesel.. I mean 300hp out of a 3 liter with a supercharger? that engine should do over 300hp naturaly aspirated...

@lilljimmy96 11 лет назад

What kind of gallon? Brittish or US gallon?

@mfletcherg122 11 лет назад

Just need to squeeze that TDI bi-turbo into a GTD and give it an R ;)

By the way that BiTDi in the vid is only a Tdi, look at the badges!

@ScottZ370 9 лет назад

exactly the point

@TomNyon 9 лет назад

thats because the bitdi will only have a tdi badge at the back. I like it, but then when you floor it, surprise!

A6 TDI is finally here in USA. 58,000$. High price thanks to currency exchange and California state government.

@gregmtech 11 лет назад

may i just ask ; why say the way to fun is bitrubo D ? way to fun is RS 6;) i know they are sold on the same segments; but either you hate diesel and cant pay for a RS6 or S6 and get a tfsi ; or you have no knoloedge at all of history and car s that you end up driving a lorry. fun is not only in performance. reving till past where the diesels go or sometime more fun in cars with less power. good chanel; but be carefull to not push things to far. i drive an M3 ; if i wanted eco id have a 330d

@klausdaskranich 11 лет назад

But many americans are conervative and don't want to drive a diesel. Maybe you could test it: get an german diesel car like an a6 tdi and let some people drive. when they finished you say: its a diesel. i bet they don't believe that :D
