hi atlas,

any thoughts on whether it will be a v10 or v8(rs4 engine?).
how much of a price bump would you guess?
one last question...how much if any will the standard
8 recieve in a hp bump?
thanks.

I've been told V10, approx 450 hp. Pricing should be $95k - $105k base MSRP. 4.2 should be good for 350 - 360 hp with larger displacements in the works. I also have it on good word there are a few prototype W12's running around with 2 snails attached to them.
