considering the normally aspirated RS4's 'smaller' 4.2L makes more power and the 3-year old RS6's biturbo 4.2L easily trumps it as well.

just read the article- the car is diesel injection, which would explain why it is only 408 hp for a 5.5 L twin turbo V8

The 335 biturbo doesn't have much more horsepower than the normally aspirated 330, but the torque difference is amazing. The 335 peaks at 1,300 RPM.
