350 to 420 with a little work? You need to set yourself up in as a tuner. You'll make loads!

I think what was meant was the usual remap and sports cats - that should release 70+bhp. I mean it shouldn't be too hard to do this on a 3.2 v6 engine if they can squeeze 460bhp out of a 2.7 v6 :wink:

Come to think of it - that's not progress, we should be getting 420 bhp from the factory :lol:

Seriously thinking about ordering one. Assuming it is actually going to be built...

It would not be too much an issue for Audi's engineers to make a 420bhp 3.2 V6, however, doing so would encroach on planned RS4 and S4 sales. Similar scenario with Boxter and 911 - a 450bhp twin turbo Boxter would probably be more desirable given its better weight distribution, but this would interfere with Porsche's sales and marketing philosophy.
