RUMOR: dealer-installed V10 560 hp engine upgrade!

[RXBG]

Any truth to this? Has anyone heard from their dealer at all? Should be a worldwide thing for around $5K.

What market are you in? Can you add to your profile?

[cavaret]

should be available in 1-2 months from what I heard... but not a reliable source.

Is this is an upgrade that can be applied to existing cars, or a new engine option?

[RXBG]

i would assume add-able to existing cars.if it were a factory thing it may as well be standard. but i could be wrong.

i am in the US.

It wouldn't be that hard to accomplish since we all know the same engine is in the Gallardo and puts out the 560 hp.

I asked your location because there is a tuner in the UK that already offers this. Here in the states, I have not heard about it coming up. Would be a great option for the R8 5.2L owners wanting to unlock the true potential of their motors.

[Monkey boy UK]

I cant see Audi dealers offering this option, mainly due to the fact that it would be in direct conflict with the new GT which throws out 560 hp.

[R8SAUDI]

no conflect with GT, as there is big and huge diffent in weight.

[RXBG]

MTM can do it with a chip here in the US for less than that- supposed power output is close to 590 hp.
