tuningblog.eu Your magazine about tuning the car
On the website of the car manufacturer Audi the feature to configure S and RS models is currently not available. Like BMW and many other well-known manufacturers, Audi is also struggling with the new exhaust and consumption measuring cycles WLTP and RDE, which are much stricter. You have already made sure that the F80 M3 and the BMW 640i Coupe are completely adjusted. Even X5, X6, M550i and 7er petrol are currently not available. And also at VW there are deep cuts. Here you kill different equipment variants because the equipment influences are included for the determination of the consumption in the WLTP cycle and simply mean too much effort. And now it has just caught Audi. Audi S and RS models as well as large petrol with DSG gear you can not currently configure on the homepage.
Almost every model and every engine has to be re-homologated and that not only causes a lot of effort for the manufacturers but also for the authorities who have to certify every new homologation. The "old" NEDC homologated vehicles can currently still be delivered, but approval is only possible until the end of August 2018. The Porsche subsidiary was not really hit better. The current conversion of production to engines with gasoline particulate filters (OPF) is so extensive that only a limited number of new cars are currently being produced. A Porsche without a particle filter cannot currently be ordered.
The following is a list of vehicles that have fallen victim to the WLTP or are no longer manufactured due to low demand:
- Porsche: entire model range only partially available
- BMW M3 F80 (+ M3 Competition and M3 CS)
- BMW M550i (G30 / G31)
- BMW M760i (G12)
- BMW F15 / F16 X5 & X6 (X 5M & X6M F85 & F86)
- BMW 4er Coupe 430i
- BMW all-wheel drive versions X1 and X2 with petrol engine
- BMW petrol all-wheel drive version 225 iX Active Tourer
- BMW 6er Gran Coupe with petrol engine
- VW Golf GTI entry-level models (partially sorted out)
- VW UP entry-level model
- VW Passat without SCR cat no longer available
- Audi S, RS models + large petrol engines with DSG
- Passat + Arteon with 2.0 TDI engine, front-wheel drive & 7-speed DSG (production stop due to update)
- Mercedes (favorable variants of CLA and GLA)
- VW natural gas models (G-Tron)
