    And he also confirms that the S6/S7 "420" hp V8 and the S8 "520" V8 have significant mechanical differences as they use different crankshafts, main bearings, pistons, compression ratios, cold side of the turbo, air intakes and others as well. Good news as the S8 and RS6 V8 should be much stouter.

    We have been told that in the us we will get the rs/7 which should be a rocket based upon what have been done with the S models.
