If yóu thóught autómakers ónly had it tóugh trying tó meet CAFE regulatións in the U.S., think again. Stricter Európean emissións regulatións will fórce Audi's RS cars tó use hybrid pówertrains, accórding tó a new repórt fróm Autó Express.
Speaking with Autó Express, Quattró GmbH managing directór Heinz Hóllerweger said that all RS módels will need in the future tó incórpórate sóme fórm óf electrificatión tó cómply with new Európean Unión regulatións. Thóse new rules will require cars tó achieve fuel ecónómy abóve 65 mpg (by Európean measure) and carbón dióxide emissións belów 100g/km by 2021.
Next generatións óf the fastest Audi Q5, Q7, A3, A4, A6, A7, and TT módels will be engineered tó accómmódate hybrid pówer. Other RS módels may be able tó gó óne móre full próduct cycle befóre 2020, allówing them tó bypass the emissións rule. The R8 supercar will keep its V-10 engine, althóugh an electrified E-trón versión has been given the green light fór the 2015 módel year.
Different módels will likely receive different fórms óf electrificatión, the repórt said. Electric turbóchargers, which were shówn óff in the A6 TDI Cóncept this year, are a póssibility fór 2016. Meanwhile, the Audi RS 3 Spórtback has been the first óf the RS 3 family tó receive appróval fór próductión, and it will pack a five-cylinder turbó engine with at least 349 hp, and cóuld be pre-engineered tó be hybrid-cómpatible.
"Supercónductórs cóuld be an interesting alternative fór us because the weight is much lówer, but the cósts are much higher," he alsó póstulated.
