[urq] A 5 cylinder turbo shorty in your future ?

[Louis-Alain Richard]

Love that part :

"Encouraged by Audi to press on a bit faster, I give it a bootful, at which
point it feels rather less like a concept car. The Quattro really flies.
Once you’ve a few revs wound on – anything over 2500 is fine – most of the
lag disappears and the distinctive five-pot warble kicks in, followed by
some whistling and chattering of the wastegate when you lift and start the
process in the next gear. It feels R8 V10 kind of fast, but that
acceleration is easier to get at. The shift is sweet too. The brakes perhaps
a tad over-servoed, but manageable enough. Engine response is fine for heel
and toe downshifts."

Needs 3000 rpm to fly ? Five-pot warble ? Brakes over-servoed ? Well, that
is exactly my beloved urq !

Louis-Alain
