Default V-8, V-10, V-16

I was browsing through a british car magazine called simply CAR. It said that the new S4 will have a 4.2l V-8, The S6 will have a V-10 and the S8 will have a V-16 (two W8 slapped together

Maybe they should just put a W8 in both the front and rear to keep it balanced. =}

Nah, they'd put both in front to keep it nose-heavy. >:-/

BMW seems to be doing the same thing.

Default Only problem is that these engine choices will make it harder to make RS- versions.

If the S6 has a V-10, what will the RS6 have? A bi-turbo V10? For $150,000 perhaps, but who would buy it?

Default I have NO idea what Audi or BMW are thinking.....

While the rest of the world is going to hi-tech V-6's and 4's, Audi and BMW are going back to the days of big displacement. Go figure....

Default It'll all come crashing down sooner or later....

VAG and its abundance of supercars will be in for some pain.

2 W8's would be a W16 not a v16 although you could say it is 4 VR4's
