Nope, sameh my boy, no one can confirm that. The reason is that that car is so far off that a final decision is unlikely to have been made yet.

Audi does have an engine coming with that spec, but currently it is only known to be in the S8, and speculated for the RS6 and RS7. Sure they could drop it in an RS4/RS5 too, but that's not very Audi-like to share the engine across so many different segments. IMHO a V6 with FI makes much more sense for the sub-A6 vehicles. That's complete speculation though.
