I also had to post this because the article title is perfect for this site ;D.

nice link, it’ll be interesting to see how it does… regenerative braking could be a huge boon for #laps/pit

Cool title indeed. And did I read that correctly:

I wonder if we’ll see the TDI race tech filter down into the S cars? I suspect the majority of the buying public will prefer petrol powered fun and it’s unlikely future S4’s will be TDI powered.

yeah the 3.7 is cool stuff, iirc its a 120* V6 which we’ll probably never see… single valley mounted turbo
