I was just wondering what kind of engines and how much HP/Tourque do the A4 touring cars that run in (or used to run in) BTCC have? And the Australian Touring cars?<p>Happened to be watching Speedvision and saw the A4s clean up the Australian series....pretty cool.<p>Thanks...<br>-Ash Silver 98.5 1.8TQMS

As a maximum of four valves per cylinder is allowed the 2 litre 16 valve engine is used, and depending on tune (sprint/emdurance) it puts out between 296 and 305hp at around 8000rpm (rev limited at 8500), with max torque of around 188ft lbs around 6500 rpm - ish<p>Check the BTCC or Australian Touring Car web sites for more details, or www.audisport.com.au for particular details related to the Australian cars<p>Hope that helps<p>Graham

Thanks Graham....gotta love that high pitched whine that they make...sounds awesome...I think I'm gonna tape it and play it while I'm driving...hehe. No just kidding of course.<p>-Ash Silver 98.5 1.8TQMS

The gears make that sound? Didn't know that...being a "gearhead wannabe", what exactly do you mean by "straight cut"?<p>Thanks Kev..<p>-Ash Silver 98.5 1.8TQMS
