I think the purpose of a V8 is to have an automatic Quattro. Now, why would someone buy a manual V8, when he can get a more reponsive 20V ?

I have another question, despite the engine, is the electrical system pretty much similar to the 200 quattro?

Electrical is almost identical. Of course Audi changes a few things here and there to keep it interesting.

I imagine having total control of that V8 is the appeal of having the V8Q manual. And the fact that it's such a rare vehicle.

And let me tell you..total control it is...
No comparing that's for sure..

also the high torque helps city driving as well so you dont' have to shift allot...Uh..hum unless your in jams all the time...
