S4 will have FSI V8 420 hp.
S6 440 V10 (Detuned further than S8).
RS8 still possible, might get Bentley C GT W12 Engine with 552 HP (only after Bentley's had engine upgrade though).

Also news about RS9, super car based on Gallardo but dressed differently (Lemans perhaps), might come with V10 Diesel (Gallardo been seen testing them.

A8 4.0 Diesel will become 4.2 Diesel with 290 HP in near future.

There will not be an RS 8. The only RS models will be the RS 4, RS 5 coupe and RS 6. The RS 5 coupe, new RS 6 and new S8 will have a 5.5 FSI V10 producing 550 hp and 413 lbs/ft of torque. The 4.2L FSI V8 in the S4 will produce 360 hp and 310 lbs/ft of torque. As a result, the FSI V8 in the new RS 4 will have to be enlarged to 4.5L and will have to produce 460 hp and 332 lbs/ft of torque. The only information that is correct is the FSI V10 for the new S6 (with 5.2L of dispacement) producing 440 hp and 391 lbs/ft of torque. The 7 speed DSG from the Bugatti Veyron (which I believe is the DL1,400 with a maxiumum capacity of 1,032 lbs/ft of torque) that will be mated to the following engines only: V10, 6.2L V12 (the engine in the Lamourghini Murcielago), 6L W12 and twin turbo 8L W16 (the engine in the Bugatti Veyron).

time projection also incorrect, or will the S8 really arrive by early 2006?
