Specifically, the Lamborghini Gallardo V10. His reasoning, was since the next S8 is supposed to have an engine derived from the Gallardo's, it should work, right?

I then thought it'd be much easier to swap a V10 from the next S8 into an A6, due to the intake design - that the S8's will be designed to be in the front. How soon do y'all think that'll happen?

front end and firewall (from windsheild forward) to accomodate the V10. So unless you're planning to hack the h*ll out of the engine bay, I don't see how it could even begin to fit - and it still might not.

Then you'd need to upgrade the suspension and brakes, and the Torsen that gives you 40/60 power distribution, etc. Cheaper and less heartburn to buy an S6.

"Audi describes the 5.2-litre V10 as a 'derivative' of the Lamborghini's V10, and in fact the 5.2 shares very few components with the 5-litre Lamborghini unit, the only significant shared parts being the drivetrain for the four camshafts. The reason is that the Audi V10s are built at the same factory as every other Audi engine, which, for economies of scale, has been configured to produce engines with a common 90mm bore spacing. The bore spacing of the Gallardo engine is 88mm.

This is how the Audi V10 ends up with a different cylinder block, a new crankshaft, different pistons and new camshafts, while the more restricted engine bay, plus Audi's desire to give the engine its FSI direct injection, result in bespoke induction and exhaust systems and a new sump"
