The 4.2 V8 is definitely one of the best engines Audi has ever made, and one of the best engines ever in general. With higher gearing, that thing would probably break the 200MPH barrier with ease. And, with proper maintenance, they also last forever (for reference, D2 A8/S8’s run like new even after 350,000 kilometers, provided they were taken decent care of.)

That sound when it went past,
A flick of the wrist at that speed!
goes cross-eyed
Pretty cas just one hand doing 184mph…
Tis nothing
um…. One hand on the wheel at 180mph? Check…
Can anyone tell me why there’s no whine from the supercharger? Has it been edited out or is it just that particular sort of s/c doesn’t whine?
IIRC it’s the type that makes it pretty much noiseless. Good for efficiency, bad for aural sensation.
Its a Rotrex supercharger, they are OEM Silent. check out www.tts-performance.com
