HP addict just posted about this not too long ago

I think the rumor is leaning more towards sc then tt, but for sure a forced injection. Thats just from the article though

for the post, s/care not as efficient as turbos. They take power from the motor to run and don't put out as much as a turbo can that and I think you get better MPG with a turbo. I don't think they would put a s/c on the car, I think they will stick with turbos

We better be seeing some turbos and not s/c. I'm just not a fan of the s/c.

superchargers are cool, those kenne belle cobras convinced me pretty quickly. But in my opinion it dosnt belong on an audi v6. Audi has a LONG history with turbos and for good reason. Turbos make torque and torque makes fun. They have plenty of experience.

BMW recently came out with the e90 335i, a 4 door sedans appealing a more performance oriented demographic, as always it comes with alot of options and a high class interior. Sound similar to the s4? Damn right it does. The 335i has a twin turbo 3.0 liter inline six, since the 2.7 left the s4 platform in 2002 audi has been using the 4.2, now that BMW has released their first turbo car in decades, i believe audi is going to capitalize on this oppurtunity to release a product that is similar to the BMW, but also one that shows audis engineering capabilitys.

Its for those reasons that I firmly believe that this car will be a bi-turbo. But that again it could be a bit of wishfull thinking i am a b5er after all
