Interesting! Obviously they wanted something more racy and a little less heavy than the old V8...
...This harks back to that wonderful 2.7 twin turbo V6 in the old S4. I had the same engine in my 2.7T A6... it was fantastic.
...incidentally, MTM can get 330BHP from the 2.0T FSI, so I think there should be plent of potential to get that engine over 400bhp!!
