Are Audi's engines the same as Volkswagen's?
1 Answers
Audi's engines are not the same as Volkswagen's. Although Audi and Volkswagen use the same platform, engines of the same displacement and type can be considered similar. However, specific tuning for different models may vary. Even within the same brand under the Volkswagen Group, engines are tuned differently based on the export destination, resulting in variations in power and torque. An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, jet engines, electric motors, etc. For example, an internal combustion engine typically converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. The term 'engine' can refer to both the power-generating device and the entire machine including the power unit.
