Anybody ever think of transplanting a RS6 engine into a 2.7T engine bay?

Default As said below, width is the same, but V8 cars have about 2 extra inches in length...
... so do their drivers.

Default No, the flares are for cramming in the 4.2 V8.
I read that in either Car and Driver or Motor Trend back in the day
