Default yes-ish

it'll be an all aluminum car, mid-engine, AWD, with either a V8 or V10 (420-500hp). There's really nothing else like it at that price point but I think the expectation is 911 Turbo performance.

Default Every time I hear news in that regard it gets priced further out of my reach

I wouldn't expect it to start below $100k at this point, even with the V8.

Default probably not 997 TT territory even with the V10.

i don't know how much it will weigh but even if it is as light as the 997 TT i doubt it will pull 500 hp with the top engine.....simply because audi can't offer a car that has the same performance as the gallardo and cost 50K less.
