View Full Version : What if Audi would slip the 6.0 W12 into the R8? Any takers?...

Maybe they would massage it for a bit more HP, higher revs, etc.

Let's say 480hp/ and 420lb/ft of torque over a large rev range.

Just trying to keep the forum going-- 8^)

553 hp and over 600 lb ft of torque. That said, I'd rather have a highly tuned V10 for the ultimate R8. The W12 isn't as refined as a true V12, and the staggered cylinder head ports have long been rumored to be the limiting factor in this engine's potential.

with Twin Turbo 12cylinder power, the R8 would go pretty well.
