both the c63 and rs5 will get tt v8? man i thought they would just get tt v6. those would be monsters

but yes, personally i see lexus has the last one with v8 na too. which imho is a good thing, i like it most. plus lexus does have good gas mileage as leverage

MBZ has announced a 4.0T V8 for this next generation of C55/65 AMG (2015 body), so a V8 will stick around at least for one more generation. As for the RS5, I can't think of any current 3.0T set-up Audi has to compete against M, AMG, F, R. They use the 4.0T in the RS7 as well as A8.

Lexus seems to be able to avoid that gas guzzler tax (except the LFA )

Yes sir you got it

The next C55 is confirmed to be a 4.0L TT V8, no words on the next RS5, but I am sure it will have the same 4.0L TT V8 as seen on the current S6/RS6, S7/RS7, A8/S8, V8 Conti-GT.........pretty much all V8 power cars in the VAG.

Audi only got that 3.0L Supercharged V6, power is too low for this level. The highest it makes is 354 hp in the SQ5.

i wonder who will be the first to say the tt6 in the m3 is going to be so weak

I think it's a good move. Though I will say the sonorous 6.2L V8 is and will forever be a gem.

I'd imagine in the future they'll have to make a more hi-po version.

Well M3s are always weak right? It was a 4.0L V8 when the C63 is a 6.2L V8. So history and tradition continue.

It would never be weak with boost anyway........this is the fastest M3 ever, so it is weaker then those 4.0L TT V8, but it won't be slow for sure.

Huge displacement NA engine is always the most fun, god I want to drive a SLS Black Series to hear that 6.2L monster roar to 8k rpm!!

You driven one and heard it?

Road and Track said "Sounds like a dragon and a lion had a baby and you're steering from its mouth while it roars,"
