    Chip it up to? The old RS5 wasn't interesting to me as it was normally aspirated and you weren't going to get a Bhp increase without a major investment but this being a Turbo, lighter front end with the V6 on the modular chassis equals better balance.

    Nice....odd number though? The V6 in the other cars is 3.0 liters including the S5/S4.

    It looks like a new engine.
    I believe the power increase might be relatively modest, but there's definitely some torque to be gained in the mid-range - if the gearbox will hold it.
    I wouldn't expect much more than 500ish hp - especially looking at that silly air/water intercooler.
