New 550 hp 5.2 litre V10 from Lambo (Audi)

[Erik]

Lamborghini will release a new engine, pretty initeresting for the next RS6 don't you think... ;)

"The hot-selling Gallardo goes topless in the first quarter of 2006. Fitted with a pushbutton electro-hydralic top, the Spyder may get the upgraded 550bhp 5.2-litre V10 that's in the pipeline."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"With the Gallardo close to matching the Murcielago on power and performance, Lamborghini will make the Murc a more potent driving machine. An 4wd GT version is expected 2006, with a mild facelift, ceramic brakes and a 6.5-litre V12, producing 645bhp and 516lb ft. A lighter and meaner R-GT batmobile will follow, with rear-wheel drive and race-bred suspension. The street version is said to accelerate from zero to 62mph in an Enzo-busting 3.5 sec."

The firsts Gallardo had 480 hp, the ultimate (step 3) 510 hp. Pistons and connecting rods have been modified;)
I don't now about this new 5.2:eye:

To facelift the Gallardo is one step to do before the new RS6 can be released. Policy: to be in no competition with Company Own Cars.

What planet are you on?

How can an overweight understeering luxo barge like an RS6 (it does it very well, nevertheless) possibly be any competition for a sports car like the Gallardo? You could give the RS6 150bhp more and the Gallardo would still beat it.

Please don't confuse horsepower with performance.

Dear Mr. Nord,

were do you read that the RS6 or even the upcoming RS6 is going to "beat" the Lamborghini Gallardo ?!?
Oh yes.. nowhere ! I don´t compare the sun with the moon nore i do with these two cars. It is just a matter of fact, that the RS6 is the most sportive, powerfull and fast car in the Hall of Audi. Within the sales managing it is a point that counts, no matter if this is from outer Space (like you are saying).
The RS6 has not been build to go on F360´s, Gallardo´s or 996 Turbo´s, i know.
Audi terms: "...the Gallardo needs to stay over the sportiest Audi".

Never heard about Company Policies, don´t you ?!?


PS: I will visit Planet Earth soon, i only have like 1 week of vacation up here on Mars. BUT we do not have any Speedlimits.

Nordo,

You're such a nitpicking, old hen you make this place boring.

I interpreted the above statement to say that Audi wouldn't put te V10 in the RS6 because it would be in competition with the Gallardo, & that the Gallardo would have to be upgraded before Audi took this step. If I'm correct, then Robin's response is more than appropriate (minus the barb).

I perosnally think Nordschleife's technical expertise combined with his irascible nature and acerbic wit make this forum a much more interesting place. Just my 2 cents.
