    Audi and Porsche to jointly develop new engines

    Audi and Porsche have entered into a joint engineering programme to develop a new family of turbocharged V6 and V8 engines. The engines are slated to replace the current V6 and V8 units used in the brands' model line-ups, and will be seen in a number of vehicles from the Volkswagen Group.

    To be based on a common architecture, the engines will feature a displacement of 500cc per cylinder, taking total displacement to 3.0-litre for the V6 and 4.0-litre for the V8. The engines are expected to feature regular gas-driven turbos initially, with a possibility for the introduction of electric turbos at a later stage.

    The new family engines are referred to as KoVoMo internally, and are slated to power future Audi, Porsche, Bentley, Volkswagen and possibly Lamborghini models.
