Advanced Technology from Clearwater Audi

May 4, 2013

Audi has always prided itself in using advanced technology in all Audi vehicles from day one. Every time the car manufacturer creates a new vehicle, it does so by seeking improved solutions and technology advancements that can be placed in our cars. If you’d like to experience Audi advanced technologies, stop by our Clearwater Audi dealership and take a few vehicles for a test drive.

Automatic Start-Stop Technology

Some Audi models have what is called “start-stop” technology in place. This is technology most commonly found in hybrid vehicles to help reduce the amount of fuel consumed and the CO2 emissions by turning off the engine automatically while waiting at a traffic signal; and restarting almost instantly when you’re ready to drive again.

The automatic start-stop technology in Audi vehicles is quite intelligent, as it can be deactivated with a driver control if you do not wish to use it for any reason, and will not activate when the vehicle is being warmed up or the windshield is being defrosted.

Audi FSI Direct Injection Technology

The FSI Direct Injection technology reduces heat loss to increase performance output – but at the same time, reduces fuel consumption. It works by injecting fuel into the combustion chambers and dispensing with the throttle plate. The Audi FSI Direct Injection technology is exclusive to Audi vehicles.

Audi e-Tron Technology

With e-Tron, Audi vehicles actually keep track of the climate conditions and the effect they have on driving and the energy performance of the vehicles in US markets. The information they learn from this monitoring is then used when developing EV technology applications for Audi vehicles in the future. Engineers in both the United States and Germany study feedback and data for a variety of vehicles, including the electric plug-in vehicle, the Audi A3, and the purely electric drive system concept car.

LED Headlight Technology

In 2008, Audi brought the first full-LED lights to the headlights on the Audi R8. The LED technology helps people recognize Audi vehicles – even when it’s dark because it provides the cars with a very unique and distinctive appearance.

Audi TDI Technology

The Audi TDI offers a clean diesel technology known for offering the cleanest burning diesel in the word. At the same time, Audi TDI vehicles have amazing performance and improved fuel efficiency compared to diesel vehicles not using Audi TDI technology.
