Lambo V10-Swapped Audi S6 Wagon Didn't Need Twin Turbos, Yet Here We Are

The VW Group parts bin is an abyss that can drive anyone mad. Treasures can be found in its depths, however, such as the means to fit a Lamborghini V10 into an Audi S6 Avant station wagon. And well, if you're gonna go that far, you might as well fill up the rest of the engine bay with two turbochargers. Why not?

The mother of all Audi wagons was recently featured in a YouTube video from Deutsche Auto Parts. As the builder tells it, he crammed the 5.2-liter, Lamborghini V10 from the S6 (C6) and S8 (D3) into his earlier S6 (C4), and somehow sourced exhaust manifolds from a Lamborghini Huracan. To be technical, this V10 is based on Lamborghini's, but uses a few cost-saving measures that cap its stock performance potential. Of course, that doesn't matter much given how the swap makes it sound.
