Re: Audi stuff in "Automobile"
The Audi normally aspirated 20Valve 4 cylinder (125hp) is disappointing
compared, for example, to the Acura 1.7 liter (170hp). Five valves per
cylinder is a landmark event for production, but variable valve timing (as in
the Acura and BMW M3) seems to the the next logical technological step for
multi-valve engines.
I love my Audi, but they seem to spend their R & D dollars like a drunken
sailor.
