I switched off when he said the engine was a development of the V8 from the first R8 with big turbos
& is it really only 1800kg? I thought it was 1950kg?

The engine quote did tickle me, so they cut off 200cc & bolted 2 turbos to an R8 engine :assflash:

Thought it might get the nerds biting :thumb: Made me chuckle as well though because the R8's engine is dry sumped for a start, but I imagine that he's keeping it simple for the average viewer and relative to his previous R8. Or he just doesn't really know.

Anyway, it's nice to hear that the RS6 is gaining him lots of positive feedback.

The C6 RS6 has a dry sump, does the C7 not?
