Hello, I'm in the market for an A8 ('12-'14) and looking for engine specs., ie, type/material of pistons, connecting rods etc. Forged vs cast. Also need crankshaft material specs., valves & valve train components. Timing gear chain vs belt, etc. The reason I inquire is for comparison to other auto model's engines before buying.
Is there an online source for this engine information? The Equus compares itself but its about 20k$ less so it must have cast engine parts? Anyways, the wife is jonesing for a 4 rings auto but being an engine builder/hot rodder I need the fine details of Audi's engine makeup. Thanks for replys, Robert.
