Auto tranny at first followed by DSG.

It could well be that the next RS4 gets a V8 with twin turbos.<ul><li><a href="http://germancarscene.com/2007/05/24/new-rs6-spied/">http://germancarscene.com/2007/05/24/new-rs6-spied/</a</li></ul>

I think they are going to stick to the 4.2L and add two small turbos to get a lot of low end torque.

Default Sorry, the RS6 engine is a V10 twin turbo, not a V8

I predict that Audi will not cast a brand new 5.0L V8 block for a limited production car, when they just spent several years developing a modular block concept that spans from V6, V8 and V10. If you notice, all three engine families has exactly the same bore, stroke and cylinder pitch.

No need to apologize.
