As the audience continued admiring the new Audi A4, Haifeng smiled and stepped back up.
"Now that you've seen the design…
I bet you're wondering about performance."
He paused, his voice calm but confident.
"After all, no matter how beautiful a car is—without performance, it's just decoration."
Performance First
"Our Audi A4 has two main engine configurations:
The 1.8T and the 2.0T."
The crowd blinked.
"Wait… 1.8T? 2.0T? What does that even mean?"
"Did they just redefine engine displacement?"
"Is 'T' a new unit of measurement?"
People pulled out their phones and checked forums and chat groups. Confusion buzzed through the air.
Some joked:
"Did Audi create a new engine standard?"
"No way. But if they did… that's insane."
"It feels like they're rewriting the rules."
"So I'm not dumb after all—no one knows what it means either."
"I thought I missed some car knowledge, but this is new to everyone."
Even veteran auto engineers watching online were stumped.
"What the hell is a 2.0T? Is this a code name?
Or… something revolutionary?"
Exactly as Haifeng intended.
Curiosity had taken over.
And now that he had them all leaning in, it was time to deliver.
"Some of you may think I'm just playing word games," Haifeng said.
"That this 'T' is just for show."
He grinned.
"You're half right."
"We haven't changed the core definition of displacement…
But what we have done—is something you've never seen before."
The Reveal
"The engines powering our Audi A4s are part of the HX888 turbocharged engine series.
It's one of the first in the world—developed entirely in-house by China Star."
"And this is where the 'T' comes in."
He paused, then explained:
"'T' stands for turbocharged.
In simple terms—it means we've added a system that compresses air into the engine,
increasing power and efficiency dramatically."
The result?
More horsepower
Better acceleration
Lower fuel consumption
Smoother torque curve
"Compared to a traditional naturally aspirated 1.8L engine,
our 1.8T delivers up to 40% more power with better fuel economy."
The audience gasped.
Haifeng concluded:
"In short—same displacement.
But this isn't your old 1.8L or 2.0L engine.
This is next-gen performance."
"The era of turbocharging has arrived.
And it starts here, with the Audi A4."
The crowd erupted.
"So that's what it is! T means turbocharged!"
"Damn! 40% more power? That's insane!"
"A new standard. A new benchmark. Audi just changed the game."
"Chinese engineering—next level!"
And in the background?
Foreign car execs watching the stream sat in silence.
Because they realized—China Star wasn't just launching a car.
They were launching an engine revolution.
