Hi Gang:
Hoooo-eeeeeey, somebody left the designers alone too long - YIKES!
Question - the text says:
"Audi points out that the very long wheelbase is ideally suited for a large,
mid-mounted engine. They say one with 16 cylinders - perhaps not so
coincidentally, the same number as in the Auto Union cars. (Remember that Audi
parent Volkswagen has an experimental 16-cylinder engine under development over
at Bentley, one that also might show up in a future Bugatti. It's a W-16, but
there's also a W-18. "
Nevermind the fact that a W is just plain bizarre, but how do you get a
W-16? W-18 (3 banks of 6) is easy enough, but are they doing something
like 5-6-5 with a W-16? Odd.....
