Default RS5... Twin turbo?

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..

There's been other rumours that the 4.2L might be lightly turbocharged

Default Nope

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>

Default Anyone see TopGear with the Gumpert Apollo?

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.
