The 5.2 liter twin turbocharged FSI direct injection V10 in the RS6 puts out a constant 580 horses between 6,250rpm and 6,700rpm, and a collosal 650Nm of torque from a very low 1,500rpm all the way up to 6,250rpm. This is a very very scary engine indeed.
Autocar UK confirms that the RS8 has been signed off and approved for production, and we will be able to see some form of glimpse of it by Q2 2009.
