[V8] Audi Engines

[S_Matus]

I received this Audi Press Release on the New A6 today.  It states it will be offered with 5 engines 2 Gas, 3 Diesels & a Hybrid (future release).
 
They are brining out another 2.8L, Hmmm. . . 
 
The passage says it does NOT use a throttle if equipped with AVS (I guess this is a step closer to a Compression Ignition Gasoline engine):
 
--Snip--
 
The naturally aspirated 2.8 FSI is also equipped with AVS; in this case, it acts on the intake valves. The throttle can usually remain open, allowing the V6 to breathe freely. It has an output of 150 kW (204 hp) and achieves 280 Nm (206.52 lb-ft) of torque in the speed range of 5,250 to 6,500 rpm. Key data (with multitronic): 0-100 km/h (0-62.14 mph) in 7.7 seconds; top speed 240 km/h (149.13 mph); consumption in the EU cycle 7.4 liters per 100 km (31.79 US mpg), 172 g CO2 per km (276.81 g/mile). This represents an improvement of 12 percent, despite the fact that the predecessor delivered 10 kW (14 hp) less.
