A4 Touring Cars

I was just wondering what kind of engines and how much HP/Tourque do the A4 touring cars that run in (or used to run in) BTCC have? And the Australian Touring cars?Happened to be watching Speedvision and saw the A4s clean up the Australian series....pretty cool.Thanks... -Ash Silver 98.5 1.8TQMS

2 litre normally aspirated approx 300bhp

As a maximum of four valves per cylinder is allowed the 2 litre 16 valve engine is used, and depending on tune (sprint/emdurance) it puts out between 296 and 305hp at around 8000rpm (rev limited at 8500), with max torque of around 188ft lbs around 6500 rpm - ishCheck the BTCC or Australian Touring Car web sites for more details, or www.audisport.com.au for particular details related to the Australian carsHope that helpsGraham

I think the high pitched whine comes from the straight cut gears they use...

The gears make that sound? Didn't know that...being a "gearhead wannabe", what exactly do you mean by "straight cut"?Thanks Kev..-Ash Silver 98.5 1.8TQMS
