    They didn't convert the factory direct injection 5.2L V10, but rather transplanted the RS6TT motor into the car.

    As far as i know, Audi tried the same when the R8's were burned down.
    5 Audis so far...currently:
    2007 Audi A4 B7 2.0 TDI Multitronic

    I drove the car for two full days in Monaco recently. Car is a monster and the chassis is so gooooooood. You hear the engine breathing near your ears. Wastegates are not too far either...

    Of course I will not tell you how MTM has done it but more than 1000 hours of work have been spent on the engine, cooling and its manual gearbox...

    Somebody did a video while I was driving in Monaco:

    Tuners in the US have had these TT'd too. Heffner and UGR both have. I'm pretty sure the heat issue was related to the RS6 engine, not the V10 that's currently in it. Two different engines.

    At this level of power, numbers are useless. Only thing I can tell you to explain you the power of this beast, it is the sole MTM car I drove in the last 10 years where my vision became unclear when rpm was over 5000rpm in 2nd gear... my vision was blur for a fraction of a second...

    The weight balance is perfect and it is the best MTM Car I ever drove so far.

    What's the point of putting the RS6 engine in it when you can TT the 5.2 just fine?
