Audi S6, S7, S8 and RS6: all supercharged with new 4.0 V8

Interesting advances on the technical details of the new Audi S8, S7, S6 and RS6, arriving here at 24 months. The heart of all these cars will be the 4.0 V8 engine developed in collaboration with Bentley and set in different capacities as needed. The first application of the new "eight-vu" end up on the S8 that will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

In this version, the engine will be fitted with turbochargers and 2 erogarà well 500 hp (+50 compared to the old S8) while providing lower power consumption by 20%, thanks also to the new 8-speed automatic transmission. In 2012 the spotlight will be focused instead on the new S6 and S7, which should be revealed at the show in Los Angeles, respectively, both will be equipped with eight-cylinder configuration 440 and 470 hp.


It might be used in this case a single turbocharger. The last step will be to get more powerful than the RS6, which should provide the same cavalry instead of the current generation, 580 hp. But we have to wait to see the end of 2012.
