Default Car and Driver on 2013 Audi S6

I guess my brother would have to park his Beemer on the street when he comes to my house. Don't want him defiling my driveway with his trash lol.

It appears the heads are reversed from usual practice with the exhaust ports in the valley of the block and intakes outside/under. Ford did it on truck engines: it improves the turbo response and efficiency with only one turbo. But not on the S6...that's twin turbo the normal way?
