Cheers.
i wouldn't say lose the magic of a S65. more so lose the magic of any engine that goes from a high power n/a motor to a turbo motor.

even guys over on the Audi forum are upset about Audi dropping there RS5 high revving n/a V8, and going with a TT V6.

though AMG is probably keeping a V8 for next C63. people will miss the big 6.3L n/a V8. the power and sound of that engine is unreal.

while sure many do welcome the new turbo era.
