"twin turbo V10 now out of question" :cry: :cry: :cry:

a dream is broken

[crespo]

it COOOOOOOOULD be a smoke screen, to keep with Audi's "under-promise, over-deliver" mantra... but I'm not so sure now.

The R8 would never have a lot more power than the Gallardo.

HEHEHE i wouldnt mind seeing a 520hp 580lb/ft V10 Turbo lol.

I think that R8 never meant to be turbo, V10 N/A is planed long time ago...

Bro, I've got nothing against you but you gotta relax. Be honest, look at how the R8 compares to what an old memory would call "supercars". Just look at Topgear's own laptimes and you'll see that for yourself! That's only the V8 model...

Now, If Audi are making an R8-S or whatever they're calling it, obviously it'l be much better than the V8 model and it wont matter what engine they use! so what if it's just N/A V10, look at what their N/A V8 can do to "supecars"!

[Cargo8]

thats pretty sad :(, but nothing wrong with sporty feeling of high-rev v10...

[Audiphile]

A V10 N/A @ 520 bhp as previously discussed doesn't sound like a disappointment to me. You are talking under 4.0 sec time from 0-60 mph. We all know the V8 is better than the 4.3 sec. So, I am not sure what the concern is all about. The R8 V10 should be normally aspirated. It just fits it better than a turbo as this is a true mid-engine sports car.

There are so many restriktions for the R8 from brother and Sister companies .
That is the reason why the R8 still hasn't been delivered with Cermanic Brakes this is also the reason why there will be no V10 Twin Turbo.

On 1st of September I shared information about RS6 and R8.I think that i am correct....
