Audi V6 engine question

[David.Ullrich at ferguson.com]

The 24 valve VR-6 is a reality. It's been in Europe for a while already. The 24 valvers are on their way to US dealers as we speak. They will go on sale very soon. Some dealers already have them, but they are not being shown yet as once the 24 valvers go on sale, the sales of the old 12 valver will drop to nil. Just as around my old hang out, VWVortex or Club B5...

I have never heard of a 15 degree 24v motor.
Can anybody else back this claim?
