Audi have given the green light for the development of a 2.5/2.6 litre 5 cylinder Turbo FSI engine last may 2006.
How long will they need to develop it, to have it production ready.
Geneva 2007 is 10-11 months later starting from begin or end may 2006.
The Question is are 10-11 months enough to get that engine in to production.
If so Audi could surprice us with it @ Geneva 2007 in the TTS.

Hans, who said Audi wasn't Santa. The only question is have I been a good boy all year.
