BorgWarner and Audi Also Break New Ground with Sporty Diesel TT
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BorgWarner
(NYSE: BWA) supplies turbochargers and timing drive systems for the
Audi TT RS featuring an entirely new 2.5-liter five-cylinder inline
gasoline engine. BorgWarner's expertise in turbocharging and timing
drive systems, in combination with direct injection, delivers
powerful performance - catapulting the coupe from 0 to 62 mph (100
km/h) in just 4.6 seconds - while achieving fuel economy of 25.5
mpg (9.2 liters/100 km). (Photo:

first to combine gasoline direct injection with turbocharging in
volume production years ago, Audi is once again setting new
standards in performance and driving excitement," said Tim
Manganello, BorgWarner Chairman and CEO. "BorgWarner is pleased to
contribute our advanced technologies to these powerful new
engines." For the new 2.5-liter gasoline engine, BorgWarner's
turbocharging experts worked with the Audi quattro team to address
the dual challenges of developing a turbocharger with special
geometry and low weight. By adapting the manifold and turbine
cross-sections and employing a relatively large compressor
impeller, engineers achieved high efficiencies over a wide
operating range with constant high pressure levels and excellent
thermodynamic values in the mid-speed range. The timing drive
system produced by BorgWarner accommodates the increased loads
caused by turbocharged engines and, at the same time, ensures
superior chain wear performance with less noise. BorgWarner and
Audi also broke new ground in the sports car segment with the new
2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel TT. The 170 horsepower engine
features BorgWarner's third-generation variable turbine geometry
(VTG) turbocharging technology, which considerably enhances torque.
With fuel consumption of 42.8 mpg (5.5 liters/100 km), the engine
easily complies with the Euro 5 emissions standard. BorgWarner
Turbo & Emissions Systems is a leading global producer of
turbochargers, exhaust gas recirculation valves and other engine
air management systems for passenger cars, light trucks and
commercial vehicles. These systems are designed to improve fuel
economy, reduce emissions and enhance vehicle performance.
BorgWarner Morse TEC is a leading global designer and producer of
engine timing systems that are quiet, durable, precise and cost
effective. Engines equipped with BorgWarner variable cam timing
(VCT) technology operate independently of oil pressure to deliver
more horsepower, better performance, and improved fuel economy over
traditional cam phasing devices in the marketplace today. HY-VO
chain systems, which are available for front wheel drive
transmissions, 4WD transfer cases and hybrid power drives, transmit
power between shafts efficiently, quietly and economically with
considerable weight savings over gear technology. Auburn Hills,
