Topic starter

So I was watching YouTube about guy talking about audi which has v10 naturally aspirated. He was saying that this car uses Lamborghini engine and I did some research he was correct. I also checked customer reviews on the car the were positive so my question is

Is audi S6 to S8 5.2 Quattro v10 awd worth buying under or close to $10000 with at 100000 miles 


What is wrong with them ?


Don't worry I am not buying it but for curiosity and future information I am asking question.
And I already scotty video in which he was fixing A8 touring I think


But since it got v10 and 405 hp I was thinking maybe can buy as a toy and add supercharger and do drag racing with it as long as engine and transmission are working what do ya think


Okay I know its an luxury car so offcorse it's gonna have electronically problem but what if I buy as a project car for v19 engine and add super charger just for fun and use it as long as it running then trash it so as long as engine is running and transmission is working is it still worth it

Run away.

Buy it if you’re a billionaire, who wants to turn into a millionaire..

At best, they are weekend toys if they have low mileage & you can pick them up for <$5000. They are over engineered German money pits & will bankrupt you with their constant, expensive repairs.

The Audi S6 you are referring to is the 2006-2011 MY with the 5.2L V10 FSI Quattro.  The S8 used the same engine from MY 2006-2009.  Technically, it is NOT based on the Lamborghini Gallardo 5.0L V10 engine but rather derived from Audi’s own 4.2L V8 FSI.  Interestingly, Lamborghini would use the Audi designed 5.2L in their 2nd generation Gallardo.  In any event, you are taking about a 40V V10 engine on a 10-15 year old vehicle with high mileage and out of warranty.  That is asking for a lot of trouble (read $$$) if something goes wrong.  Unless you are The Car Wizard or LegitStreetCars, it would be unwise to buy this vehicle.  I would not even take it if someone offered it for free.


Maintenance and repairs are super expensive. Plus being a luxury car lots of technology on it that WHEN they malfunction will be a nightmare to troubleshoot and fix (and more $$$). Even the regular Audi A4 with the 2.0T TFSI I4 is already a money pit. The V10 is also susceptible to carbon buildup.
