Will detuned V6T's ever make it into mainstream B8's (like A5 and A4, to replace 3.2)?

Default doubtful. my guess is that it will be like the old C5 A6 and B5 S4

though the 2.7t in that A6 wasn't tuned differently than the engine in the S4, whereas the new one has 30 less hp.

BTW, your TT is hawt.

Yeah, I'm talking "detuned" (like the 2010 A6's motor), and "mainstream" (like regular A4, not S4)

Default Yes they most definitely will be.

I spoke to the Audi Product Planning Executive again last week and they said that the 3.2L is being gradually phased out. Notice how the Q5 is not available with it. The detuned 3.0L TFSI engine like the one in the PI A6 will be handed over to the B8 A4 when it is facelifted in 2012/13.

Default Ah, so not until 2012/2013, and possibly never for the (North American) Avant huh?

Thanks for the scoop!
