Sounds like Audi gave that thing a helluva engine. I do wonder how easy the twin turboing will be with direct injection. I am not sure that you can just buy bigger direct injectors, and if you could the price would probably be staggering (not that a lambo buyer would necessarily care). I suppose you could add normal injectors, but assuming they designed the runners without wet flow in mind, that could lead to other problems. In addition, depending on how much boost it run, it could really mess with the direct injector's ability to spray cleanly, or the amount it is supposed to. I guess there are other turbo Direct injection engines out there that people mod, but I am not too familiar with what they do. I know the Diesel guys get around it somehow (obviously), but I don't think they use the same kind of system most gas engines do.

I think the new rear is the best part. But very similiar to the R8.

Is that considered an all new G, or just a facelift? Yes, it looks good, but it looks nearly identical to the others. I do love the Murci front bumper on it though. The carbon fiber interior looks awesome.

You can see a lot of R8 influence in the design! The tail lights and the a lot of the interior design for sure. I wish Audi would be more of a silent party!
