    Twin Turbo V10 R8 may be in the future (aftermarket)

    I just sent an email to Heffner, who does the TT Gallardo (some up to 1000 hp,) and he said that the TT LP560 is in the works and should be up and going soon.

    If the V10 in the R8 is in fact the same V10 as the LP560, which it is rumored to be, this would probably be an easy conversion as well.

    Easy conversion for Audi techs to do and hopefully they do release this fast before Porsche comes along and shelves all new models/variations of the R line....

    Yes, but all the factory "mules" with turbo's caught fire, due to internal overheating.

    We all know how hot our R8's get around the engine area after a hard drive.

    That is why V10 is V10 and not V8T or V10T.

    I saw that pic as well and wondered the same. Haven't heard anything about it and figured it might just be there for other reasons.
