Can the Bugatti Veyron W16 engine fit and work in the Audi R8?

To some the Bugatti looks weird but German engineers knew what they were building, it was made in a way so it can channel air perfectly. Meaning at higher speeds the air won't go into the wheels so you won't lose control. (Watch redline, movie, the guy in a Lambo Diablo vs Merc SLR Mclaren, Lambo flips over because it needed a diffuser). Bugatti's body is to channel air and provide grip at higher speeds, thats why it looks weird.(well to some)



There may be a way, if the Audi R8 is capable of holding a 5.2L V10 in the hood, I am sure with a few modifications and a lot of $$$. The Audi R8 COULD hold the W16 engine.



I don't think its a good idea for that car to have something like a W16. That car is already good looking and as perfect as Audi made but adding anything bigger is not good. Your screwing the weight distribution, it could probably weigh more than Veyron.



I agree to the answer above, engine + transmission will cost more than R8 itself.



The only thing that will become a problem is fitting the transmission and the radiators in, except for the airbrake.





In my opinion, what the Audi R8 deserves is a TDI engine thats producing 738+ feet of torques (the one that motortrend guys drove) or may be a V12 Twin Turbo.|||It wouldn't fit, but if it did, it would catch fire almost as soon as you turned your can on. The Veyron has ten places in the car to cool the engine the r8 has 1. So your little r8 would blow up. The r8 wouldn't be able to handle all the things that kind of engine requires.|||doubtful it's a monster, plus the engine costs more than an R8
