    I dont think we will see this in Geneva, im guessing probably towards later in the year. Audi is having it;s audience soak with the V10 R8 and Spyder for a while until they release this beast.

    What i would love to see in the R8 GT (im definitely way off but this is my wish)

    3300lbs
    4.5L TwinCharged V8 - 545hp
    S-tronic
    AWD

    Rs8

    After test driving the R8 v10 yesterday. I want to buy an R8 and put an RS6 tuned engine in one. My version of the RS8. Does any one want to help? I can fine R8's to 100k, Where can I find a complete RS6 Engine?

    You can tune the R8 V10 NA engine up to 600 hp.
    With bi-supercharger up to 740 hp.

    And with bi-turbo up and beyond 1000 hp.

    Why change a complete engine. ?

    Rs8

    Very good points. But I would have a truly unique vehicle. Cost of the project under $140, And I love my RS6 and the way the power comes on.

    Call MTM. They are probably already finished with their conversion.

    The engine is appearing in some of Audis data.

    Engine code : CMPA
    5.2L V10
    560ps
    Model: R8 GT quattro

    Production begins November 2010

    ..also on the listing an updated 4.2 engine for R8 producing 430ps. (thought they would have put an RS5 equalling 450ps unit in as an update)
    Production of that begins July 2010.

    Twin charged V8 would not be a light engine at all, likely heavier than the V10 version. Certainly the R8 would have to lose a lot of luxury to reach that weight.
