Wow,my 270 HP S4 will be a baby soon..
Volvo's new S90 (the replacement for 900 series) will have bi-turbo
4WD >300 HP.
SAAB 's new 9000 also have bi-turbo ,>275 HP.
Alfa Romeo's new flagship also have 4WD twin turbo.
We can easily mod. turbo car up to one exact
point,more than that you have to spend a
lot of money.
For example,the S4 ,any chips can pump them up to
270 HP. but higher than that you need a new
manifold to keep the head cool. If you want 310-320 HP. you need a
new turbo. These are
quite easy,but if you want to go beyond that (above 320 HP.) ,you
have to spend a lot of money.
So, 400 HP. for the new S6 may be possible,but may
not easy.
