Inline 5-cyl Biturbo ...tested up to 600 hp without problems
Yeah and which gearbox can cope with that?
The 600 hp was just a test ...the marketalternativs will be 350 hp and 390 hp!
Same turbomanagement as BMW ...a small charger for instant spoolup and a larger that kicks in later!
Sign me up for the 390 hp Sportback tiptronic version in Suzuka Grey plz!
MTM RS6-R MY09 Suzuka Grey
LP570-4 Performante MY11 Balloon White
Seriously, 600hp from 2.5L. That is incredible. :MTM:
Well that otuput confirms that it's not SC in case anyone was in any doubt.
Search and you will find the truth.
For me in a TT-shell please, with one of those cocktail umbrellas
It also says that the TTRS will be the first one out! Due to a new sulotion with the ingine it will only be 6 cm longer than the 2,0 TFSI engine ...this means it will be a transverse installment ...not bad for DSG
what there will be a RS3? what did they write?
~~~And God did ask the stones... wants their Quattro to drive... the stones answered..." no we´re not hard enough".~~~
BTW, anyone been thinking about the possible installment of this inline 5 in the new S4. Since the RS6 have been receiving the wheelarces of the old ur/sportquattro, why wouldn't the new S4 get an seriously updated version of the engine that started the party, and for that sake probably much of this forums members!
Vorsprung durch technik
The engine would definitely be a 5-Zylinder turbo engine.
The project is for the time being stopped after information,
which I received 3 day's a go from my source, after
intervention of the new majority shareholder Porsche!!!!
And i'm not the only one that have this information, in the last couple of day's more people have recieved this info.

There are pretenders among us.....
Geniuses with the ability to become anyone they want to be.....
That would be strange, Porsche would miss out some good money that would go to the competitors if they decide to cancel a whole segment to protect one of their models. Sounds more like a rumor to me than a fact.
The last couple of years Porsche finances have looked really great because they own part of VW. Porsche would tumble down as soon as VW/Audi experience any problems.
The R8 hasn't had any effect on the 911 (when you compare 5,000 R8s vs. many more 911s) People that want a Porsche (for its badge/prestige) will buy one anyways, so they have nothing to fear.
As for the Boxster/Cayman, they would probably only need a proper 911 engine in one to match the RS-TT. I don't think that's too hard to do.

Can anyone provide a translation of the article or point me in the direction of a good translation tool? All the online translators are rubbish.
Many thanks, .:Rico
