The testing will end on September 30 however; Audi has released interim results of the performance of its models. On top of the list is the new A3 1.6 TDI, which has recorded emissions of 99g/km and has managed a claimed 94.2mpg.
Meanwhile, the S3 has returned 40mpg so far. The Audi A4 2.0 TDI e, with CO2 emissions of 119g/km, has to this point returned 72.4mpg. The S4 model has returned 36.7mpg. The new A5 Sportback 2.0 TFSI has managed 57.6mpg while the Q7 V12 TDI has returned 32.5mpg.
There are three legs for this challenge: from A to Trondheim, Trondheim to Berlin and Berlin to Bee. For a more detailed testing, the cars will be moving through towns, villages, city center, autobahns and the Alps.
