Default repost? Seat Cupra with a 500hp 3.0 twin turbo V6.

This is a VAG product, next RS4 engine? Sure seems like it!

__________________________________________________ __

The Cupra GT is equipped with a 3.0 liter V6 motor. Unlike any other production Seat, the Cupra GT's motor is mounted at the rear of the car to obtain a lower center of gravity and super-car like handling. This engine creates in excess of 500 horsepower, and 443 ft-lb of torque. Weight has been kept to a minimum, and as a result, the car tips the scales at just a little bit more than a ton. This power runs through a six speed sequential gearbox, leading the way to 300 km/h + top speeds, and a 0-100 km/h time of just a hair over 4.2 seconds.<ul><li><a href="http://www.carbc.com/Car-News-337.html">http://www.carbc.com/Car-News-337.html</a></li></ul>

Default Good catch...

But I can't see them releasing a V6TT RS4 with 50 more HP than the almighty V8TT RS6. Perhaps a detuned version of the motor in the URL in the 425HP range. Nonetheless cool info, and the new RS4 will be sick, and the S8/RS8 (if they make them) will be even more sick.

I don't like how the windshield and the fenders form a contiuous curve from the front of the car.
