Audi RS 8 Gets Turbo V10 with 572 bhp

i cant be certain but i think that might have something to do w. fuel efficiency thats why they prob didnt put a twin turbos on a v8

60 degree V-12s are naturaly balanced, through second-order vibrations.

This is not a diesel, that is a V12

He means the diesel engine is a V12.

I agree, it is not funny, because it doesn't make sense. They'd be accused of starting a civil war since it is between German rivals. ^-^

lol yeah i was thinking that! and "..Audi would take the bull by its sharpest thorns..." hahahah err.. he meant horns right!?

The thing I still haven't been able to grasp is why they put the same engine in the 4 door RS 4. And then made this car not even 200 lbs lighter then the RS 4. And they somehow are asking twice the price? Normally I hate 4 door cars, but ignoring the price and going purely on looks and performance, I would have a very hard time choosing between either of these cars. I mean the R8 has a slight edge when it comes to performance... but the rs4 looks so much nicer. Oh well, I guess that's why they are releasing newer more expensive versions of this car with bigger engines. Come to think of it, the tt rs would fit in exactly for the kind of car I am going to be looking for once I graduate. Performance, looks, 2 doors, and hella cheaper then the r8 and all of its performance versions.

hmm... dunno why I added that comment onto yours Wisp.

Forget your 0-62 figures guys, there meaningless in the terms of cars like this. Its more like your 70-150mph which this car would excel at over the RS4.

Don't forget the turbos increase efficiency exponentially (CAFE). And, the V10's in the middle of the Rs8 instead of hanging over the front axle centerline like in the RS4. Think of how neutral and blissful handling will be...
