The 43 is dead (in some cars), long live the 53

I saw an A8 60TFSI recently. I thought it was a mistake and the garage had missed out the . Between the 6&0. Then I read about this new naming.

Seems like changing stuff just for the sake of it. No-one would know if I had one as there would be no badges on it

Sounds like what most Govt agencies do.

All year you get from finance “sorry we need to budget for the year”

Then in Jan they say “ah we have all this money and if we don’t spend it we’ll lose it next year. Go buy a load of sh!te and change the names and logo’s on everything. Just make sure the receipts are in by mid March!”

The 63 should never have been a 63 as it was a 6.2 V8, what should the A45 really be then???

So the 53 should be a 32 and the 63 should be a 42 if you take the 4 as the engine size and 2 as the number of turbos?? then the A/CLA/GLA45 should be the 21

Not at all confusing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pure semantics. The real issue is whether anyone else in the street has one?
