Congrats!
Their V10 won as well.
Edit, this was news to me:
AUDI WINS "ENGINE OF THE YEAR" AWARD: 2.0 TFSI ENGINE TOPS ITS CLASS AGAIN
that makes me think, that audi made mistakes to give up their high performance turbo league.
just my 2cnt

they'll be back with turbos though. the V12 TDI (Q7 and next S8?), the V10 in the RS6, and the rumored 5 cylinder and V6......
we'll see.

You're right 7:53RS6, looks like BMW doesn't just have AUTOCAR in it's back pocket.
Oh dear, that my sour grapes again.

Skratch,
Not surprised at all, in fact quite pleased because I have always said that I prefer turbo engines to N/A engines, they produce a better balance of torque to power over a wider rev range and in general use less fuel, plus they are more tunable.
Basically it's a win win situation.
