A pair of turbos motorboating a V8's cleavage... sexual, ain't it?

It's unfathomable! It has all the luxuries and toys of an A8 but with the ballistic performance of a V10R8, in fact, it'll beat an R8(10) down the 1/4 mile, 11.8 plays 12.0. According to torque stats it'll do the 1/4s with some serious company:
  • Ferrari 430 Scuderia
    Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition
    Ruf R Turbo
    Porsche 911 Turbo 997
    Pagani Zonda C12 S 7.3
    Porsche 959
    Lamborghini Murcielago LP640
    Lamborghini Murcielago 6.2
    Wiesmann GT MF5
    Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 997
No matter where you go, there you are.

Probably saving it for the next RS6, I wonder if it is compatible with the RS4 somehow though old or new!
