RE: 30 Valve Twin Turbo

[Anders Thun <thun@prosoftia.se>]

I've read the same rumour in a german magazine. The engine will be installed
in the new S6 (based on the new A6 coming out in spring '97). This new
S6 will come out in late 97 or possibly in early 98. Very few details
were available but the power should be around 265 hp (not that powerful, but
you gotta leave something for the tuners...). In the meantime we can look forward
to the revised S6 4.2 next June with 330 hp.

All dates are german dates, here in Sweden we tend to see the cars 2-3 months
after. Don't know about US dates though.
