Personally I would love to see it happen, Audi have several engine platforms which they could throw in at a moments notice and easy be ready for 2018:
GT3 based 5.2L V10 - 570bhp....probably a bit heavy, but the correct capacity for sure
DTM based 4.0L V8 - 500hp.....probably ideal, but lacking capacity compared to Caddys, but its ready
Or just throwing it out there, it would need to have Technology behind it for Audi to compete, so as a wild card I would say Audis new I5 cylinder 2.5L turbo.....it would sound truly epic....and bring back days of the Audi-IMSA cars driven by Walter-Stroll.....the sound, oh the sound.....I would crawl over broken glass to hear that motor - proper race motor.
turn the volume up and listen to this, start from about 2 minutes in
