They do indeed exist but are very rare. Infact you will never find a factory made RHD V8 of the same era, only LHD.

Indeed they do, 280bhp. You learn something everyday.

I have never seen one myself but I would love a ride in one just to compare power deliver between the 5 cylinder turbo and the V8 as both my car and the URs4/6 push 280bhp.

Rarer are the urS6+. 4.2 V8 with 300+ bhp.

I've had a go in one of these (the urS6plus) and it is a pretty amazing beast - normally aspirated so felt more urgent than the turbocharged RS6 even though (obviously) not ultimately as fast. Easy to unstick all four wheels at launch, if you are so inclined.

But... nose heavy. And thirsty. So I'll stick with my near-geriatric urS4 thank you.
