Audi 4.2 V8: The Aluminum Beating Heart - Great watch
 

Hi Guys and Girls,
Just spent the last two hours watching this.
It tells the story of the Naturally Aspirated Audi 4.2 V8 Engine and the development into their cars.
It starts with the D2 S8 and finishes with the RS5.
It not only talks about the engines, but also covers the actual cars and performances
It's a great watch. Hope you enjoy watching it.
I also hope the link works.
Happy New year everyone
Regards,
David

Looks like a good watch - thanks David +++

Added to my watch later list :cool:

25 minutes in so far and they do love the D2! +++

I got to the end of the D2 part. My takeaway is, if you have a D2 S8 do not sell it. You're holding an appreciating classic.
As if you didn't already know that +++

Oh! And please hang onto the original Avus 18" wheels. Some day you will realise how well they suit your car (unless you have an actual FE)

Me too & 100% agree. Great video, good and well-informed guys. And you can have an FE and have Avus wheels too: they make perfect winters (as do the lovely W12 rims...).

PS: Nice for him to plug MJ's "future" 6 speed conversion, 23 minutes in...:D

It was a good watch. The little thing that peaked my interest was something mentioned just passing by towards the end of show - Koenigsegg 2.0l 3 cylinder camless engine producing 600BHP so I had to do more research

Excellent viewing. They seemed to think the engines were bulletproof, but no mention of the oil cooler pipe..... :tuttut:

Really enjoyed that, the D2 featured is stunning. Makes me want an RS4 though :love:

But mostly it makes me want to drive anywhere again, damn this lockdown malarkey :-(
