Audi AVK / BGN specs: 3.0L (182 ci) 6-cylinder, 82.5 x 92.8 mm (3.2480 x 3.6535 in) bore and stroke, 10.5:1 compression. Rated 220 hp, 2002–2006.
The Audi AVK / BGN is undersquare — the 3.6535" stroke exceeds the 3.248" bore by 11.1% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.6535" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,550 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 6 cylinders displaces 30.3 ci (497 cc).
10.5:1 is in the range that usually runs on pump premium.
5 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 220 hp across 2002–2006.
