it's not a lambo engine in the audi, it's an audi engine in the audi

can't even email the twat to correct him

even top gear had a big write up about who the engines were different as audi couldn't make the engine the same way as there was a problem with the instalation

can't even find the info know though

if you drive a cossie and tell folk "it's a tarted up pinto" you can get away with it

but you can't say the same as the bloke who's turned his mr2 into a rarri

it's like saying "i'm married to a supermodel" because "they've both got 2 legs, arms and eyes and a nose and long hair"

The engine is based on the lambo engine isn't it? So they've just missed a couple of words out.


the RS2, which was launched by Audi around the turn of the century.
I thought it was more mid 90s?

This is what you see when you remove the engine from a C6 RS6

My Skoda Octavia has Vw, Skoda, and Audi labelled parts on it.

Haven't seen any Lambo, but they may be there.

And I'm sure my 6 speed Transit gear knob is the old ST170 / Aston knob.

"It accelerates like a motorbike so it's really good for overtaking in a safe way"
It might be fast, but I don't think it's that fast. Not when it weighs in at nearly 2 tonnes.

I recall the Focus ST's had washer fluid resevoirs which had "Volvo" and a part number embossed on the underside. Not to mention the engine as well...
