Uh, yea... link.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV5xL_ocFlc is it a typo? [sm=dontgetit.gif]

 

Um...doesn't sound like a V8 to me. If someone dropped a V8 in a TT they'd have an engine bay shot.

 

If you click on the persons name who posted it. You can see they work for VW, and that it's a prototype out for a test drive.
We may be seeing a V8 TT in the near future...

 

Maybe he means 8V? ; ) 32 valve 4 cylinder, badass!!!

 

Sounds bad ***! Must be the new model TT.

 

Could it be by any chance an open intake V6?
I've never heard the V6 TT so i'm just guessing.
Just doesn't seem to me like Audi would try to smash a V8 into the TT when there are lighter V6's that make great power.

 

Send the guy an email and ask for more info? Would be interesting to find out:

I think Audi is just playing around to see if it could work. Most of the competition with the mk2 TTs are V8s.

 

all the DTM race cars are using 4L V8's


"The cars are supposed to be fast and spectacular, while still rather cheap to build and run. All DTM race cars have RWD and 4L V8 engines which are air-restricted to 470hp, no matter if similar layouts or engines are available in the road cars. Instead of the road car bodies, unrelated purpose-built chassis are used, which are closer to prototype racing. Many drivers have in fact described the handling of the cars as closer to single seater racing cars than road cars. Only the roof sections of the road cars are put on top of the roll cages, and lights and other distinctive design features are used in order to provide a resemblance to the road cars. Also, in order to save money and provide close racing, many common parts from third party specialist are used, like transmission (from Hewland and Xtrac), brakes and Dunlop Tires. The all-important aerodynamic configurations are tested in wind tunnels before the season, brought to an equal level, and kept that way throughout the season."
