[julius <elprofe@caribe.net>]

Mercedes-benz entry level engines in the german market hes nothing
special to offer the customer,just like mercedes price policy,which
remain excessive.As in the preceding comparison with BMW,the Audi A6 2.8
142 kW(193 bhp)has more to offer engine-wise than the E280.
With the same maximum output and top speed(230 km/h or 143 mph),Audi 2.8
litre power unit offer a superior toeque curves.
At 280 Nm or 206 lb-ft,the Audi A6 2.8 not only offer 10 Nm more maximun
torque,but also provides this extra muscle at just 3200 rpm(E280:270 Nm
or 199 lb-ft at 3750 rpm).And you can of course use this extra power
over a wide speed range,which means superior flexibility for the
customer,leaving the competitor fer behind.Indeed,htis explain the
better performance the A6 has to offer,the new AUDI 2.8 accelerating to
100 km/h(62 mph)in 8.1 seconds,a whole second faster than its
mercedes-benz counterpart.Similarly,the AUDI accelerates to 80 km/h in
5.7 second,while mercedes do not even disclose this figure for their
car.And last but not least,the AUDI consumes only 9.2 litres/100
km(30.7mpg Imp)in the din combined cycle,i.2 litres or 13 per cent less
than the MERCEDES!!!!!
