It isn't about the straight line power. It is about the subjective power delivery and feel of a normally aspirated high-revving motor. Such a motor is far more predictable, has razor sharp throttle response, and gives a much more wired-to-your-nervous-system feel than a turbo motor.

From what I was told, they tried but were having cooling issues with it. I would love to see the TTV8 in the R8 though as well. Hell, Id love to see it in the RS5.
