I was looking at some spy photos and came across this front bumper shot which clearly shows twin side intercoolers... Based on these spy photos it seems like this will definitely be an FI motor, question is, twin turbo or supercharged? Personally, Im hoping for the TT, Ive driven the RS6 numerous times and absolutely loved that motor.. Increase power a little and drop it into a lighter car and Id say we have near perfection..

Looking forward to seeing what audi does with this..

This picture was taken on a trip by a test mule through the western US, including a stop here in Colorado for high altitude testing and a stop in Vegas and another in Death Valley.

An Audi dealer employee in Vegas reported that the car is a naturally aspirated 4.2L V8 with 470hp.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=230228">AZ Thread</a></li></ul>

Was on (rerun)last night..

Used an Audi 4.2 V8 biturbo engine available in versions up to 850HP. "Naught to Sixty" in 3 seconds. Fastest car on their board.

that doesn't mean they are intercoolers. The could be oil coolers or even auxiliary radiators (the fourth generation VW Golfs and Jetta's with the VR6 engine had auxiliary radiators mounted on the drivers side because of the heat output of the VR6 engine).

Any idea which show they'll release it in?
