Spy Shots: RS8 (V10?) and RS6 (TT V10?)

Check it out the V10 RS8(supposedly) caught testing on the 'Ring. There is no proof yet that it is actually the V10 except for the larger intake sideblades. There is also rumor that it could be the TDI V12 TT from the Q7 V12 TDI or some derivative of that...(500hp 750ft/lbs 20+MPG) but we'll have to wait and see!

Enjoy

Larger intakes,larger breaks and different side skirts. I think this will be a great competitor to the Porsche turbo.

I doubt they'll throw a diesel motor into that car. More than likely a de-tuned variant of the Gallardo's V10.

I don’t think its a de-tuned anything. The 5.2 has a longer stroke then this engine, and it revs accordingly. I’m happy it isn’t going to have another 4.2.
