max_b Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 the word nn the r8 that burnt out at the ring was to do with the fact that it was a v10 they were testing, that as they found needed additional cooling wonder what happened here?

Scotty Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Oh dear I wonder if was a 4.2 customer's car or a development car being tested. Either way it's obviously not good. You'd have thought by now they'd have sussed the cooling issue. Of course they could be totally unrelated electical, loose fuel/oil pipe etc incidents but two cars up in flames and all over forums isn't good either way.

J_C Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 It's now been officially confirmed that this car was indeed a twin-turbo V10 test mule, and that this idea has now been shelved in favour of a n/a V10 with 500+ hp.

P_G Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Instead of 580 bhp like the RS6 it'll 'only' have 520bhp. That'll be slow then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 The RS6 is supposed to be over 2 tonnes and the R8 is about 1.5 tonnes, IIRC, so that thing will fly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
