    The turbo, supercharge, which ever one is most suitable will win. N/A is dead in the water, every brand is making the swap over from N/A and I doubt Audi will not follow, especially as they probably the king when it comes to producing the best turbo engines.

    I would lay any amount of money that if the RS5 had been delayed another 6-9 months it wouldn't have had a N/A engine.

    I hope the current RS4 B8 prototype running with the V8 4.0l Twin turbo arround Ingolstadt win at the end....
    Yes, that's the V8 Bi-turbo with overhead (between V) turbo's.
    We will see that engine in the next Gen S8, Audi R8 and a lot more sporty Audi's.

    This I believe is the same design that BMW have used in their X5M and X6M. In both those two cars the feedback is mighty impressive, with near zero lag and mountains of trust.

    Still don't see why a supercharger system like the one used in the S4 wouldn't have worked a treat.

    Heaven knows how this thing could possibly be as light as a supercharged version.



    At least Audi will be able to include a beautiful bit of CF to complete the look.

    Looks like that BMW engine is Direct Injection, so at least it will carbon up and slow down at the same rate as an Audi FSI .....
