Hmm, if wv had to de-tune it how about those remaps around then (lot of chassis breaks to expect?) Btw, evo mag just recently tested the new 4.2 TDI (V8 unit with twin turbo) in audi A8.

322bhp and 645nm, that's not exactly weak either shoots the big audi from 0-60 in 5.9 seconds

people who remap a toureg v10 tdi WILL break the car, the transmission an't take standard power + abuse let alone shed loads more

I think they de-tuned it to make it last longer, otherwise they wouldn't be able to give a 3 year warrenty and make money!

like I said I "think"

my mate's neighbour works at a place where they test cars, his job is to put something like 1k miles a week on a ar and see how it fares on long journies, short journies etc

every single V10 tdi toureg they had broke the transmission

I guess it's difficult to build transmission that can cope with such force.. I remember reading somewhere that one of the reasons why bugatti veyron is not in production is that they simply can't make it last, if I remember correctly it had something utterly crazy like 1001bhp and 1250nm..

Jason's next project maybe?

Fabia 3.2 - hmm, has a certain ring to it
