Name the V8 TT factory cars besides RS6

[ott]

Started to think, that there are not so many cars with V8 TT setup straight out from factory and most of them are exotics.

The list what I could put togehter is:

Ferrari 288 GTO
Ferrari F40
Maserati Shamal
Maserati Quattroporte
Maserati 3200
Saleen S7
Lotus Esprit
Vector W8
Cayenne Turbo

In addition there are some street legal Le-Mans cars like Nissan and Toyota, but those are not real production cars. Also, Lingefelter products can be considered as tuner cars.

So, is in very exotic company. Can anybody add to this list ?

The 3000GT has a few powerplant choices; a 3.0-liter, 161-hp SOHC V6, a 3.0-liter, 218-hp SOHC V6, or the twinturbo-charged 3.0-liter, 320-horsepower SOHC V6

Maserati Quattroporte

When did they come out with a TT V8 version?

Quattroporte IV was produced during second half of the 90's with both, V6 and V8 biturbo engines. And I like the design of this car as much as the current generation.

Bentley is using single turbo setup, like also Pontiac in their 1980-81 ("Smokey and the Bandit") Trans-Am.

Thanks.

The Bentley is in fact a twin turbo unless Bentley themselves are liars.

Not much reason to lie about. I didn't know that new model has TT setup, so you were correct.
