      Autocar is reporting that Bentley will be getting two different versions of a direct injected turbo 4.0 liter V8. This powerplant will come in single turbo form putting out around ~410 horsepower as well as a twin turbo version putting out over 550 horsepower. This motor would likely power an Audi S7, RS7, S8, and a new RS6. Expect to see this motor in a Bentley by the end of the year.

        Modding is going to be huge on these cars, BMW with their turbo V8, Mercedes with their turbo V8, and now Audi with theirs. Well, at least *boost.com was a good idea.
