TheVolkswagen-Audi V8 enginefamily is a series of mechanically similar,gasoline-powered anddiesel-powered,V-8,internal combustionpiston engines,developed and produced by theVolkswagen Group,in partnership withAudi,since 1988. They have been used in various Volkswagen Group models, and by numerous Volkswagen-owned companies. The firstspark-ignitiongasolineV-8engine configurationwas used in the 1988Audi V8model;[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]and the first compression-ignitiondiesel V8 engine configurationwas used in the 1999Audi A83.3TDIQuattro.[8][9][10][11][12]The V8 gasoline and diesel engines have been used in most Audi,Volkswagen,Porsche,Bentley,andLamborghinimodels ever since. The larger-displacement diesel V8 engine configuration has also been used in variousScaniacommercial vehicles;such as intrucks,buses,andmarine(boat) applications.

4.2 V8 40v T 331-353kW (C5 RS6)
editBased on the existing4.2 V8from theAudi C5 S6,this engine wastunedwith the assistance of VW Group subsidiaryCosworth Technology(nowMAHLE Powertrain), and featured two parallel turbochargers, known as 'biturbo', with two side-mounted intercoolers (SMICs). Enlarged and modified intake and exhaust ports on the newfive valvecylinder heads, together with new induction and dual branch exhaust systems, a re-calibrated Motronic engine management system, revised cooling system, and decorativecarbon fibreengine covers complete the upgrade.
The initial 331 kW (450 PS; 444 bhp) variant of this engine generates aspecific poweroutput of 79.3 kW (107.8 PS; 106.3 bhp) per litre displacement, and the 'RS6 Plus' 353 kW (480 PS; 473 bhp) variant gives 84.6 kW (115.0 PS; 113.5 bhp) per litre.

4.2 V8 FSI 32v
editBased on the existing Audi 40 valve V8, this new engine is heavily revised over its predecessor, with all-new components including: crankshaft, connecting rods and pistons, cylinder heads, and valvetrain, oil and cooling system, intake and exhaust system, and engine management system. It is available in two versions; a basic or 'comfort' version, first used in the Audi Q7; and a sports-focussed high-revving version, with features borrowed from motorsport, for theB7 RS 4 quattroand theR8.This is the first eight-cylinder road car engine to useFuel Stratified Injection(FSI), which was successfully developed by Audi in their Le Mans-winningR8 racing car.The5.2 V10 FSIwas developed directly from this V8 engine.[16][17][18]

4.0 TFSI
editThis engine is part of Audi's modular 90° V6/V8 engine family. It shares its bore and stroke, 90° V-angle, and 90mm cylinder spacing with the Audi V6. The earlier V6 engines (EA837) used an Eaton TVS Supercharger instead of turbocharger(s). In 2016, Audi and Porsche released a new turbocharged V6 engine they dubbed EA839. These 2.9L (biturbo) & 3.0L (single turbo) V6 engines share the 4.0T TFSI V8's “hot vee” design, meaning the turbo(s) are placed in the Vee of the engine (between each bank of cylinders) instead of on the outside of each cylinder bank. This allows the turbocharger(s) to produce boost pressure more quickly as the path the exhaust gases travel is much reduced. It also aids in getting the engine's emissions hardware up to temperature more quickly. As with the V6, the V8 is used in various Audi and Porsche models, but the V8 also finds use in Bentley and Lamborghini vehicles.[23][24][25][26][27][28]

In addition, the Bentley engine uses switchable hydraulic mounts instead of Audi's active electrohydraulic engine mounts. The Bentley engine does not include a stop-start system.[29]

Racing engine
editThe race version of the engine was developed and produced for theDeutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft,between 1990 and 1992; and later theDeutsche Tourenwagen Mastersand in theAudi R8C,Audi R8R,Audi R8andBentley Speed 8,between 1999 and 2018.[34][35][36][37][38][39]
Audi V8
editAudi developed aGroup Acompetition version of the Audi V8 engine for entry into theDeutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft(DTM) (German Touring Car Championship)auto racingseries equipped with a 309kW(420PS;414bhp), later 340kW(462PS;456bhp), 3.6 V8 engine and 6-speed manual transmission, and began racing with it in1990with Schmidt MotorSport (SMS) running the operation, andHans-Joachim Stuck,Walter RöhrlandFrank Jelinskidriving.[40][41][42]
Audi R8C/R8R engine
editThe R8C and R8R both use 3.6-liter, twin-turbochargedV8 engines,producing between 600–640 hp (447–477 kW), and between 516–561 lb⋅ft (700–761 N⋅m) of torque, while using two 32.4 mm (1.28 in) air restrictors, and pushing 1.67 bar (24.2 psi) of absolute boost pressure. While the R8R has a large number of vents placed on the nose, most of the intakes and air exits on the R8C are placed on the sides.
The R8R was estimated to boast around 610 hp (450 kW) from its V8 engine, allowing it to hit 335 km/h (208 mph) in 1999 at Le Mans (the original claims were that the car could go 350 km/h (217 mph)).[43][44][45]
Audi R8 engine
editThe R8 is powered by a 3.6 L Audi V8 withFuel Stratified Injection(FSI), which is a variation on the concept ofgasoline direct injectiondeveloped by VW; it maximizes both power and fuel economy at the same time. FSI technology can be found in products available to the public, across all brands in theVolkswagen Group.
The power supplied by the R8, officially listed at about 610 hp (455 kW) in 2000, 2001, and 2002, 550 hp (410.1 kW) in 2003 and 2004, and 520 hp (388 kW) in 2005, is sent to the rear wheels via aRicardosix-speedsequential transmissionwith an electropneumatic paddle shift. Unofficially, the works team Audi R8 for Le Mans (2000, 2001, and 2002) is said to have had around 670 hp (500 kW) instead of the quoted 610 hp. The numbers were quoted at speed, and were due to the car making 50 extra horsepower due to twin ram-air intakes at speeds over 150 mph (240 km/h). Official torque numbers were quoted for this version of the engine at 516 lb⋅ft (700 N⋅m) at 6500 rpm (2004/2005), but the 2002/2003-spec engine produced more torque; with 553 lb⋅ft (750 N⋅m) at 5500 rpm, with boost pressure set at 1.67 bar (24.2 psi) absolute. The equation for horsepower (torque divided by 5250, multiplied by rpm) for these numbers produces a horsepower rating of 638 horsepower (476 kW) at the same 6500 rpm (516/5250*6500=638).[46][47]
Restrictorchanges for 2003 brought the power down to 550 bhp for anyone still racing with the R8, but the maximum torque hardly changed.
For 2005, The ACO still felt that the R8 needed to be kept in check, so they reduced the restrictor size on the R8's engine, due to the car not meeting new hybrid regulations, and stipulated the car shall carryballast weightin an attempt to make the races more competitive. The R8 was restricted even further to only 520 bhp.
Bentley Speed 8/EXP Speed 8 engine
editThe engine from theAudi R8,a 3.6-liter V8, with (Honeywell Turbo Technologies) turbocharger,[48]was used as the initial powerplant for the Bentley in 2001. It produced 637 hp (475 kW) and over 479 lb⋅ft (649 N⋅m) of torque, via two 33.1 mm (1.30 in) intake restrictor, with boost pressure limited to 1.87 bar (27.1 psi) by regulations.[49][50][51][52]
Following its initial year of competition, the Audi-sourced V8 was modified to better suit the EXP Speed 8. This saw the engine expand to 4.0 liters, producing between 600–650 hp (450–480 kW), and 590 lb⋅ft (800 N⋅m) of torque, using two 30.7 mm (1.21 in) intake restrictor plates, with boost pressure still being limited to 1.87 bar (27.1 psi) by regulations. This would ultimately lead to Bentley redesigning the car for 2003, leading to the change of name to simply Speed. Without the intake restrictor plates (completely unrestricted), and with boost pressure set at around 1.9 bar (28 psi), the 4.0-liter engine is reportedly capable of producing up to 860 hp (640 kW), and about 750 lb⋅ft (1,020 N⋅m) of torque.[53][54][55][56][57][58]
