I'm planning a V10tt conversion from the future RS8, but you're safe chasing this for a year or two.
Kidding, of course. Although half of you probably wonder...
No further development is expected for this drivetrain.
I'm toying with some ideas for the headlights. I can't figure out what to do past the speed of light... Any suggestions?

Well done, sir. I hope it's sorted and the ASP 91 file is up to snuff. Are you going to keep the
stock suspension?
Oh, and by the way, after seeing the painted flares with the grey front bumper, i must say that i really like it. hmmm, to paint bumpers (for me) or not to paint bumpers...that is the question!

I'm going to paint the bumpers, but I'm kicking around the thought of this 'RS6' bumper instead
This is on a US spec C5 2.7t, pre-02. It requires Euro support brackets as it's a euro bumper...
I'd like to adapt the RS6 rear bumper, but that will be a tougher fit due to the 'flares', and there is no similar 'narrow body' option in the aftermarket.
The below, per my understanding, is not fibregalss, but some form of resin/eurethane like the OEM bumpers.
I'm not decided whether I prefer it over the 'allroad' version with the faux skid plates or not.
Overall, I'm going for an 'RS allroad' theme, so this speaks to that, but I'm also trying to retain the 'allroadness' in the process.
So I'm undecided.
I'm also debating using the rear wheels from the R8 on all four corners so I can mount wider 285 tires. I haven't been able to confirm the bolt pattern or offset on those wheels yet though. I have 30mm spacers with the B7 RS4 wheels, which I'm not thrilled about, but any OEM Audi wheel requires spacers with the wider flares...

Somebody needs to p-shop that thing onto your car for you. I'd like to see what it looks like:-)
Stock suspension? That thing is going to drop in the rear like a boat under accel:-)
