Several Audi models have employed forced induction via a positive displacement pump, commonly known as a supercharger, to enhance engine performance. This method of increasing power involves compressing intake air and delivering it to the engine cylinders, resulting in a more forceful combustion and increased output. An example can be seen in certain variants of the S4 and S5.
The implementation of this technology within the Audi lineup signifies a commitment to delivering elevated levels of horsepower and torque. The added responsiveness and improved acceleration characteristics appeal to driving enthusiasts. Historically, this approach allowed Audi to compete effectively in performance-oriented segments of the automotive market.
