While the original poster may have been mistaken in the statement that Audi
offered a twin-turbo'ed V8 in a product, I have heard confirming evidence
that Audi has had "engineering mules" here in the states for testing that
have included vehicles with twin-turbocharged V8 engines ... 

I didn't get a lot of detail, so you pretty much know what I know, but the
idea of a factory V8tt is somewhat intriguing!  Of course I drooled to read
the specs on the DTM engine I saw sitting on a stand at the Monterey
Historics last year ... :-)
