I think that's an old photo of the C5 RS6 engine.

Why? It's not FSI (where's the fuel pressure regulators?, and the fuel rail is exposed), and there's not enough plastic/carbon fibre covers for a modern engine.

that engine is definitely not a TFSI engine, as Dave said, fuel rails are apparent and a low pressure fuel pressure regulator is visible on the picture, so whatever V8 biturbo it is, it can't be the new RS4 one, as the new RS4 is said to be FSI, regardless of forced inducted or not.

The website is only about Audi's plant in Hungaria, nothing else.

As someone with a very keen eye noticed on the audiworld forums, it's the engine pic from a 2001 Audi Avantissimo concept.

Look this, and you will understand everything: http://www.audi.hu/profil/simplified_en ... t_2007.pdf
It's not about the engines, but about the factory in Gyor.
It's totally useless for us.
