Audi will be reverting to lighter V6 engines for future S models - allbeit supercharged or twinturbo - they reckon they can produce similar performance through being lighter and more fuel efficient - by up to 20%

Actually that thought struck me as I was typing it... and to think the Lotus Carlton was the world's most powerful saloon for years stuck at 377bhp |

Something to do with them not homologating it. If they do, the manufacturer has to produce a certain number of spare parts for the future.
