New S6

[aspeer@mail.utexas.edu (Andrew J. Speer)]

I'm not a fan of "Automobile" magazine, but it sure beats reading
"Madmoiselle" at the supermarket checkout.  The latest edition has a short
blurb on the next S6 making 330 hp (rather than the 260 or so previously
mentioned).  If the S4 gets the same engine and a curb weight @3400
lbs.......I'll let y'all use your imagination.  If the A4T can make 286 hp
just with intake, exhaust, and turbo work, 400 hp should not be impossible
for an engine that features 1 more liter of the same 5 valve technology, but
then I'm not an engineer.  The same article states the next 911 turbo will
exceed 440 horses, while the forthcoming M5 will make 375.  Unfortunately no
other specifics were provided.
