Top Gear this Sunday did Ferrari FF vs. Bentley Continental GT. On ice and snow lol.
The Bentley sounds fantastic and did great. Around a snow covered track replicating Silverstone inch for inch, carved into a lake in Sweden, the Bentley produced a 13 second faster lap time (3:51 vs. 4:04)
Anyway, try to find the video on youtube…sounds awesome and in typical Top Gear fashion it’s a great, great video.
step 1: buy b6 s4, strip it out
step 2: buy a crashed car equipped with 4.0t
step 3: put 4.0t into b6 s4
step 4: win
hahahaha that would be a job and a half
ok just fix crashed 4.0t equipped car and strip it the fuck out.
win
Yes, the new engine does sound great. I cannot wait to see how it reacts to good tuning.
It’s going to be a monster. Hopefully Audi put some decent rods and decent bore spacing so the boost can be cranked.
bore/ bore spacing should be the same as always, 84.5mm and 90mm… shorter stroke for the displacement drop
Audi should have put this engine in the new RS4
Agreed.
I don’t know…pretty big engine…pretty heavy…pretty hot too.
I’ve heard it was NEVER a consideration. No way it would have fit, and it would destroy the driving dynamics of the car.
If you can find me a V8 twin turbocharged car in the market that is this size (and is basically entry level luxury), I’ll be really interested and will give you one of the Cokes richib86 owes me. I’ll give you all day.
Range Rover Sport TDV8…its one of the entry level luxury in that segment and you never said it had to be petrol only
New M3, not V8TT, but will be inline 6 TT and should be pretty comparable size/luxury. But I know the RWD doesn’t work for you up that way.
Does benz do anything in AWD? Just wondering about that new E550 we were talking about would fit that suite. Obviously a bigger car and drives like a boat. but still.
lol nice try
re-read the challenge. In no way is a 4500 lb truck the same size as a B8.
V8TT. 185" or so. entry level luxury.
Not a V6. Not a 195" long boat that can accomodate the big engine.
My point was that a twin turbo v8 in an entry level sized model is just not dynamically or dimensionally sensible…not to mention the fire hazard…no matter how many people cry about it.
I really dont think this car exists…and audi didnt need to ‘step up’ with an absurd sacrifice of a design just to sate the bloodlust of the tuner happy world that demands FI and rails on against audi on forums in anger (even though those complainers rarely are the ones buying these cars new from Audi anyway lol)
You are right…
I think the largest engine that we will see in a entry level sized model is the 6.2 V8 in the C63, from now on the engines are only going to get smaller and equipped with more turbos
fuck that, gimme a merlin 700+ cid block in a pinto
