well its a "hybrid". It has an electric supercharger as well as two turbos so thats what I was referring to as "hybrid". But i guess thats not the best description for it.

Its about the same price as the current RS5, but yea i agree its expensive. Its also about the same price as a current well optioned A6 or A7 tdi , but packs more power and more sporty-ness.

Even though it says electric turbo on the side? Audi needs to get it's nomenclature straight!

"The key to the RS5 TDI's performance and efficiency gains is a Valeo-supplied electric supercharger. It is positioned at the "cold side" of the intercooler and, thanks to a low-inertia rotor, capable of reacting within 100 milliseconds and revving to 70,000 rpm. It can blow at full blast independent of engine load and revs. This allows the engine's twin turbos to be calibrated for maximum boost—up to 49.3 psi—and power. The leap to 385 horsepower at 4200 rpm is solely achieved by the turbos, not by the supercharger. And the TDI's ample 553 lb-ft of maximum torque is available from 1250 to 2000 rpm. These figures mirror those of BMW's 381-hp, tri-turbo inline-six diesel, which is an impressive engine, but falls far short of this Audi mill in terms of responsiveness.
The electric supercharger requires a separate 48-volt power supply, and the conversion from the 12-volt system adds cost and complexity. Down the road, cost is expected to diminish as more electrical functions are integrated into a common 48-volt system."
Yea Audi has a tendency of having slightly screwy nomenclature. On the 2010-2012 S4's it had a V6T badge on the front fender...even though its a V6 Supercharged....

Yea....I think the S6, S7 and S8 have a V8 T badge on them....But nomenclatures in general have gotten all weird in recent years. Bmw, Merc, they're all screwy.

I'd rather have an RS5 that sounds like this.
