What have you been drinking man?? :drink:

V10 is no oil burner! I think you are getting confused with the V12 tdi from the Q7 that they plan to put in it

The R8 4.2 V8 also has false tailpipes, they are part of the rear bumper assembly

Hi do you know that the R10 V10 525PS engine is mechanically the same as the lamborghini Gallardo LP560 - 560PS?

The R8 V10 has an electronic limitation started at 6700rpms to limit +/- the throttle at 80%. It seems that possible (with a reprog) to reach 600PS...
