Please read carefully. Absolutely nothing I said in the post of mine you've quoted contradicts what the Audi official said. I've seen that quote before and am aware the two engines are not literally the same (I should have chosen my words more carefully in my earlier post). They are, however, evolutions of the same family. Bore center, deck height, bore and stroke are the same. No one would design an under square high revving engine if given a clean slate.

Same goes for almost everything you mentioned.

You've completely lost me. Everything? Ever?

The new S Tronic is a completely different. If you drove the S4, S5, and R8 you would see there is very little in common.

Great. Can you tell me why you thought I said anything to contradict this?
