For the powertrain detail of this latest RS6, the engine (parts code: 07L, identification code: BHU) is what Audi claims the first all-aluminium alloy 5.0 litre (4,991 cc (304.6 cu in)) 90° V10 twin-turbocharged ("biturbo"), Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI), with a dry sump lubrication system. It has four valves per cylinder, with twin chain-driven double overhead camshafts, and variable valve timing for both inlet and exhaust camshafts. Charged intake air is cooled with two side-mounted intercoolers (SMIC)s. The V10 engine produces a maximum power output of 426 kilowatts (579 PS; 571 bhp) at 6,250 to 6,700 rpm, and 650 newton metres (479 ft·lbf) of torque from 1,500 to 6,250 rpm. Engine management is by way of two Bosch Motronic ME 9.1.2 engine control units, which act as "master" and "slave" concepts, due to the high revs the engine can achieve. It also uses mapped direct ignition with ten individual spark coils, an electronic drive by wire throttle (Bosch "E-Gas"), cylinder-selective knock control, and cylinder bank adaptive lambda control, utilising eight lambda sensors.

I know the ford engine wouldn't be anywhere near 571hp but it might put it safely in the 500's. A DI TT 5.0 V8?  |
They are working on a DI TT 5.0L V8 according to
pickuptrucks.com. It is called Bobcat and appears to be aimed at becoming the top engine in the F series, but it would make a pretty good GT500 power plant with a projected 500hp & 750+ ft/lbs.
Of course it requires both gas
and E85 (in separate tanks) and will probably have wet sump, a single front mounted intercooler and perhaps an iron block. But a bobcat powered GT500 is sure to cost less a lot less than anything Audi will put that V10 in.
