Audi needed an 8 to compete with the top-line mercs & bimmers. I think the Audi V8 is of Audi design and is not a derivative of the 928's V8 which is a derivative of the 944 I4.

      I always wondered where Audi developed the V8 and why it was only used in one
car with relative small production numbers.

Then I thought of something. Did the V8 engine come from the Porsche 928? It
would make sense to me. Anyone know?
