Building an Ultima. Audi R8 Engine possible?

[Erik]

Does anyone here have good knowledge about the Audi R8 engines?

Please contact me, can't really shout here ;) I'd be interested to see if the R8 engine and other things would fit into an Ultima.

Other than the fact that it's a Bi Turbo V8 like the RS 6, no. But curious, what exactly do you have planned for the Ultima? Pics and updates would be appreciated as i'm planning a project car of my own in the near future.:cheers:

:D you could get a TON of RS 6 motors AND heavily modify them for that price.:D . BTW, previously i was looking into purchasing some damaged parts from the R8 race cars and found that the people had lease agreements to give them back to Audi. So my guess is that you will not find an R8 motor unless you're willing to part with some serious dough.:cheers:
