They say that it's half the RS6 engine, but is it?! Hope so, and not some V5 re-hash. |
It is a proper staright 5. America have had it for ages now in their Jetta, although with no where near that power. Its a chain driven 2.5 20v with FSi fuel system and so really high compression ratio! It is a basic redesign of the 5.0V10 engine in the Gallardo (obviously non turbo but same engine) and the RS6, not the 5.2 that they put in the S6/S8.
Shopuld be a brilliant engine and I'm excited as they will have huge tuning potential. Times like this I love my job!
It's reported to sound like a uR and go like stink..... it'd be nice in my 90 hmmmmm
