the car (A8) or the motor (4.2)? a 360hp S3, that's GT2 at Le Mans/Daytona...
imagine the durability, the trany is always a problem, figure out a system like the LMP car and booya - all we need now is a little funding, April, the boys at AMS interested...

Passat's are pretty cool . . .
They are going to continually become higher priced in VW's quest to battle Mercedes, leaving Audi to battle BMW. So pretty soon you'll probably say "yah, but in the end it's just an A4."

having just read through it carefully, im guessing audi may actually come up with a slightly
more powerful version of the 2.0T seeing as its taking them a 3.2 VR6 with this tech to get 240 hp and ~200 lb/ft torque, wheras with FSi as demonstrated by audi, 250hp and around 240 lb/ft of torque would come out of the 3.0.
I reckon within a year... with cvt and quattro coupled + i-drive we could be looking at a winner here!
