Default Whats a "50 TFSI"?



I'm assuming its a trim level in China, but what motor does it have? Its a force fed motor, but which one? 2.0? 3.0? 4.0? 5.0?

EDIT: Never mind. Its a glorified 3.0T to the rest of the world. http://www.audi.cn/cn/brand/en/model...container=page

For Chinese market A6 is only available in LWB, which I believe is unique for that market as most owners have chauffeurs and they sit at the back. It also comes standard with ionizer in B pillar to filter air.

I wish we could get the LWB version here. Then I wouldn't have to be looking to spend a ton more money on an A8L or 750Li. I don't have a chauffeur, but sometimes I feel like I am one.

Interesting that spec sheet says it has the S Tronic. I wish Audi would at least offer that as an option for the A6 prestige here in the US.

Everywhere else in the world gets the S-Tronic. Only North American cars get the ZF 8 speed. They deemed the S-Tronic too harsh for a luxury car here.

Audi should just give me what I want, damn it! But seriously, I'm stuck deciding whether to replace my current leased A6 with another one or get the S6. Dealer let me take an S7 on a long test drive and I didn't think the DSG was harsh at all. It would go well with the 3.0T in the A6.

It gets a bit clunky in traffic. I think that was the problem. All twin clutches do that.
