Could be. I know for a fact that it was in the plans in summer 2006 when they
showed us an Audi presentation at their facilities. They talked about the V8 and V10 and even showed us slides so it was definitely official. Things could have changed since its been nearly two years now, but...

They may not want to make it v8tt because people will try to mod
if it's v8tt they would have to make the engine come in lower than with the v10 version, because, say they already put the v8tt at 480-500HP, people will try to mod it to 600HP, that's going to be a huge warranty liability for Audi, and certainly wouldn't be affordable if the car will only cost the expected $75K.
v10 or v8tt is fine, we don't even know if the v10 is heavier than the v8tt to being with, so. I'm not that worried I think Audi knows what they are doing.

which is heavier, the v8tt or v10, think we need to know more about the v10, before ou say to big.
the v10 S6 gets better gas mileage than the v8 S5 to boot.
Point, just cause it's a v10 doesn't mean it's heavier or larger, totally depends on the engine.

Re: My Guess: Audi RS5 5.2 V10 FSI Valve-lift N/A with 480 hp.
The N/A 5.2 V10 FSI engine weigh only 220 Kg.
A V8TT will weigh some more with all the plumbing.
The new high rev 5.2 V10 FSI engine will have a lot of light weight parts in it.
It will come in the Gallardo LP550 with 550 hp, in the R8 V10 with 520 hp and in the RS5 with 480 hp.
