"audi will never be competitive in GT motorsports ever again"? Pretty bold statement.

with their current roadmap, the earliest they will be able to turn it around is 10-15 years

Default i doubt they'd race if they can't win...

...which makes me think that unless they are saving all their money's for an F1 buy in, they'll make a special Audi again.

My guess is they'll drop teh Gallardo motor in an Audi to race in SPEED GT, Or they'll turbo something in the 8 cylinder or greater variety.

Then again, there's that long shot of the upcoming RS4 + with the A8l V12 in it. That has some displacement. Still, 6.0l is not 7.0l.

Default honda thought so with the NSX

pay SVWC enough to let them run a cheater NSX with an SC. Didn't do them any good.

i don't see a piggy 4 door N/A 4.2l ever competing with a c6, viper, or 997, no way, no how, no matter how much audi cheats short of a pair of k04s.

...Audi could run a pair of these and have free reign at the motors...
