If they hadn't mentioned Multitronic CVT, I might have believed it.

...But from what I hear, 220 HP is pretty close to the limit of that transmission. Unless Audi has made significant advances beyond the significant advances they made with their current Multitronic offering, that just ain't true.

Ummm, isn't it currently offered on the A4 3.0? Which produces 220(ish) hp?

Yeah...That's what I meant...220. Isn't that what's in my message? :)

Either way, 420 is way past that limit.

Hard to buy into an article that is poorly written (ref: grammar and geography).

I used to be a big fan of the S6 so I recognized the pic as soon as I saw your post.
