R8 V10 super-charger / R8 V10 RWD?

[The RS6]

It will sell, and maybe the guys from financing need a way to cover probably large amounts of money invested in creating a RWD Gallardo...

Waiting for the follow-up model based on the RS6 engine...

888hp
0-100 in 3 seconds
top speed 369

....and thats with the V8-engine.

What can MTM do with the RS6-engine?! 1000hp?! :bigeyes:

[RXBG]

would a full 556 hp require any more venting? perhaps not. maybe they found a freaking way to cool a SC engine back there or even a TT? god help all supercars being made if they did.

just a follow-up: my dealer contacted 2 persons within quattro (sales+engineering) both replied that there will be no RWD R8 anytime soon. so for me things are clear now and ill rather go a different way and maybe change to a RWD R8 once its relased...some time.

oh and by the way: the diesel version was canceled, no V12 for R8.

The R8 v12TDi was cancelled more than 8 months ago but the last I heard was that there would be still a TDi version in the future though it's unknown as to which engine would be used.

they may have simply found a way to get more power from the engine NA/ maybe 580 hp. perhaps this mule we see is the last "hurrah" for the R8 before replacement. the cabrio will be a 2011 MY. this one would be a 2013 MY.

Have you seen how many Gallardos that have caught fire, maybe more power and heat isn't exactly a wise idea.

not sure any gallardos that caught fire were stock. usually turboed afaik.

besides- the LP560 doesnt have any more major cooling vents than the gallardo but has a sig bigger engine and more power.

so no, i don't think a mild hp bump to the NA engine will make it burn.

[Leadfoot]

I don't know whether any or all of these Gallardos are tuned or turboed, but if you are right then that would put a lot of owners at ease.

But one thing it does prove either way is that there is little scope before things turn ugly.
