I just walked down to check on the Allroad. Its all done with the exception of an alignment. While walking back to the office I started wondering what I could put in there for a new engine. Note: it does not need a new engine this is just for fun

Of course the Oppoboner thought was the V10 from the R8 but I think thats about as likely as the delta wing not getting destroyed in a race. I also thought it would be cool to do a dual or quad electric setup but that’s not a weekend project either.

Realistically, the easiest thing to do would be something that already exists. I know the Allroad also came with a V8 option but I dont think that was ever mated to the 6 sp. however that was the setup for the S6. I’m not sure if they were the same parts but that seems like it would be a easy(er) swap. What would OPPO do. No LS’s.

behold the likely outcome of an Allorad Electric engine bay:

I recall someone put a manual gearbox in their S6 Avant. It’ll take fabrication, but it’s doable. There may even be a kit out there for it.

well I have the manual, it would be putting the V8 into the Allroad, almost the reverse of that

That’s what I mean. It’s the same chassis, so mating a manual transmission to a V8 allroad will not be any different than doing so for an S6 Avant.

It’s a little guy. Look at all the extra room in there that could be used to hide snacks
