The car is rear wheel drive.
It does NOT have an RS6 engine, it has a modified S6 engine, we have covered this before when discussing manual gearboxes for the RS6.

Wow !
You got to know better than the people who will build the car. Actually in the officially Briefing they are talking about a modified RS6 Engine for the top Version of the Apollo.
I hope they realize that this is not the Engine to be used. :D
Take a closer look at this picture:

You really don't get it do you.
When you stop reading magazines and company handouts, you might have something to report.
But I know the casting numbers on the engine blocks are different between the RS6 engine used with the automatic gearbox and the block used with the manual gearbox.
How do I know, because I talk to the engineers and designers, not the marketing people.
If you feel I am having a go at you, I am. Why, because you pretend to have 'inside information', and just come up with marketing material. Inside information is always appreciated, so bring that to the table and you will be applauded.

Whatever you say Mr. Nord. All the best to you and all the other RS6ers. Time to go now.

R+C is completely right. You should listen to him.
And I know what I am talking about because I saw the first prototype on the dyno running yesterday at MTM. Very very impressive.
The first racing Apollo is being built in parallel.
Cheers,
