I agree with Taka, probably one of the twin  turbo cars by Hohnester or MTM if
it is a V8. They all had problems due to limitations between ex-manifolds and
body(lack of clearance and a poorer design). Probably why the RS6 motor had to
"wait" 10-12 years for the  right body. I think this is why the S6plus has
"only" 326HP compared to the  S8 with 340-360HP.Engine is the  same 40V but
different and restictive ex-manifolds lower the HP.

If the 93 "RS4" is a  5 cyl, they buildt several of those but none  by the
factory. Actually my car is a 94 S4, but after MTM rebuildt it, the  papers
from Germany(TUV) calls it  a "MTM-RS6". (So Fred, I am the lucky owner of the
RS6 prototype.....)

Seeing  what Audi has  achieved in rally, they could not  be  as stupid to use
the large C4-wagon. No way.

Andy: try to get some  more  info and  some  pictures. I'd like to see what
kind of hybrid bird this  is.
