What is the horsepower of the Audi A2 1. TDI?
Audi A2 1. TDI 60hp. The Audi A2 was a losing bet for the Ingolstadt company. It was too sophisticated for its segment, that of small cars, resulting in a decidedly high price list. Result: 176,377 units produced from 1999 to 2005, the year of the definitive disappearance from the four-ring manufacturer’s list.
What is special about the Audi A2 1. TDI?
In the spotlight: the A2 1. TDI with a sensational drag coefficient of 0. The Audi A2 1. TDI, which was introduced at the end of 1999, went on sale in March 2001. It delivered 61 PS and required only 2. Its direct-injection turbodiesel engine was made entirely of aluminum. If the three-litre A2’s money-saving credentials were dubious for owners, the economics of the entire A2 project were disastrous for Audi. The company is alleged to have lost £4,000 on every car sold, partly because its alloy body was expensive to make, but also because the A2 sold nowhere near the numbers intended.
