The 2020 Audi Power Roundup
A closer look at 3 of the most powerful models from Audi
After one hundred years of automotive engineering evolution, the modern driver deserves modern power. Audi Silver Spring understands, which is why this month, we’re honoring the top three most powerful models in the Audi lineup. And the winners are… (Please imagine a drumroll in your head.)
Most Horsepower
The Audi R8 Coupe uses a 5.2-liter FSI® dual-injection V10 plus engine to produce an astonishing 602 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque. That’s more than enough to get you there on time in comfort and style. With a top speed of 205 mph and a 0-60 time of just 3.2 seconds, this luxury magic carpet can practically take flight.
Most Towing Capacity
The Audi Q8 comes with a standard 3.0-liter TFSI® turbocharged engine capable of producing up to 335 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque and propelling this three-row luxury SUV over mountains and down the interstate with equal ease. Not only can you seat up to seven passengers comfortably on the inside, but you can accelerate from 0 to 60 in 5.6 seconds and also tow up to 7,700 lbs. That’s a boat or a couple of jet skis on a trailer (AKA "an incredibly fun way to spend a weekend").
Most Powerful Electric Vehicle
The Audi e-tron® SUV sports a revolutionary liquid-cooled, dual-asynchronous electric motor that puts out an impressive 490 lb-ft of instant torque with the boost engaged. It can rocket from 0 to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds. It can hit a top speed of 124 mph. It can tow up to 4,000 lbs. It can travel 160 miles on a single charge (that's more than the Tesla Model X and the Jaguar I-PACE). This is the future we've been waiting for.
These are just the top three models on our list, and there are many more feats of strength from Audi we would love to tell you about. So chug that energy drink, down that double espresso, or crush whatever rocket fuel you’re consuming, and come see us at Audi Silver Spring or contact us to learn more about the powerful options we have in our showroom.
