    Man, Audi sure does make some incredible sounding engines...from the old 20V 5-bangers to all of their current offerings (especially the V10 in the Gallardo:D). Too bad the driver kinda botched up the 1-2 shift a bit, but boy does it sound wicked. Not to mention the anti-lag belching away in the beginning...something every turbo car should have (but not exactly easy on the turbo itself). :) Great vid Thanks for the post!!!

    Sweet vid, thanks for sharing! :)


    Anti-lag? Can you explain how that works, thanks. However it works, it sure makes for a mean idle...

    Oh, I also found an article which apparently explains that Cosworth built & designed the RS4's engines: http://www.cosworth-technology.co.uk/700_information/724_21stjuly2000.htm


    More or less anti-lag is just a system to keep the turbo spooled...dumps a bit of fuel into the turbo manifold and adds extra spark to keep the turbo spinning. Rally cars use anti-lag systems (well, turbo powered ones that is) and it's absolutely amazing to hear in person. It's as loud as a gunshot since it's technically an explosion of fuel. Here's a great article to explain it: http://www.rallycars.com/Cars/bangbang.html Hope this helps :D

    Ryan, do you know who tuned that car and if there are more vids or info about it? I can't see enough of the graphics on the car to figure it out.
