    Oh sorry, a "slang" term that is used in the UK!

    Damage - i.e destroy the opposition! i.e How much damage this car will do the opposition!

    Hope this clarifies it!

    R8 will do in 3.5-3.7s 0-62m/h (officialy) so we should expect better than any competition. By the way i know for sure that this will not be the best R8, this will be R8-S but the best will be R8-RS with more than 600HP (but in about 3 years to be launched) like RS6 and RS6 plus...the same engine with new tweaks to it to develop much more power. I found this yesterday from my dealer, very good news don't you think?!
    p.s. he told me that Audi will invest in a huge new Quattro G.M.B.H. facility to build more than 2, RS cars in the near future (1-2 year) officialy aprooved from Mr. Stadler and the council.

    near the facility where TT is made in Hungary he told me, but time will see where will be placed (this will be second Quattro gmbh facility for new RS cars), audi will not be cut off for one RS model production per year that's why this facility will be made, and the investment will be a good oportunity because better delivery, much more RS cars and time between models launch to decrease.

    I really wish it was true, i would be very happy if the new Quattro Gmbh would be in my country.

    530hp doesn't sound like a TT 5.2 to me.

    True, it sounds NA. still keeping the 100hp per liter ratio though and they could increase the rev limit to 9000rpm. Who knows?
