Wasn't there supposed to be a 12-cyl TDI R8 before the v10 was chosen? You made the concept car. :-)

I had considered the swap, but wanted to keep it authentic. Plus the EB110 motor has a 8500 redline and just screams! Did a few upgrades, some weight reduction, etc. and have a 650PI monster now. BOVs sound awesome. And you are right, it turns.
One of the best parts about this game is to experience, even for 20 mins in a game, the sights and sounds and driving sensation of cars that I have never even seen but in magazines. Great fun.

I modded the car out completely with both engines. You are right, the native powerplant revs much higher and sounds considerably better. There is also about a 250lb penalty when putting in the Veyron engine, even if you keep it RWD.

Agreed. And the SLS would be nice too. I am puzzled why there is no CLK63BS, no C63, no way to enjoy the 6.2 AMG V8 except for the ML63?
Looking forward to the 2nd Jalopnik pack with the vintage racers!

Intake, exhaust, weight reduction, springs... just a freshener to bring it up to 2010 specs! It is very fun to drive. It is amazing how much more tactile RWD cars are, even in a video game.
