The 936 engine was a 2.1 turbo 6, well over 500bhp as well. Renault also did pretty well with a 2.1 turbo six.

So if it could be done over 30 years ago, maybe it can again. Audi can say what they like, the guy is a genius but he does not speak for Aston and wont be privy to all the inmost dealing of the hand grenade on wheels.

Good luck to them, and maybe the engine is not the only problem they face.
