Whats up with Audi ditching all the turbo cars?

I'm out of the loop with Audi for the past 4 years. I thought you could still get a turbo car but I don't see any on the site. I guess they changed to only V8's in their sports cars?

True That "G"

I just sold my B5 S4 and the car was so much fun. (Although I missed my 99 M3) When the 335 came out I thought my heart stopped. Ever since my 1986 Buick Grand National I've been hooked on turbos.:rocks:

Audi still has turbos in their normal cars, but they've phased them out of all the "fast" (S/RS) cars. i.e. Old S4 was FI as well as the old RS6, but now the new S/RS 4 and S6/8 are NA.
