When the snow exposes the V8 twin turbo... anyone else love this?

So I was out in the snow and noticed how amazing my V8 twin turbo looks peeking through the white stuff :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:. Does anyone else get excited when the snow hits? Let it snow, right? :joy:

Wait nah this can’t be real. That looks awesome!

It’s also on my RS6 C7, just looks a bit different though.

Wtf? I haven’t tested if my S5 does this. Need to check!

You don’t have a twin turbo V8 tho. Just saying.

Yeah, I have a supercharger that gets crazy hot, lmao…

The V8’s are a hot V, so exhaust manifolds are under the heat shield. Those curves on the bonnet are the air intake ducts.

Makes sense, thank you for explaining! Have a wonderful day/night.

This car looks like a 2020 RS3 to me, which doesn’t have a V8. Or am I missing something?

It’s a 2023 S8 :nerd_face:.

Didn’t recognize it without the sparkly bits in the upper part of the headlights being that visible.

I think my V6 single turbo has the same design. Looks similar!
