Reil claims the only way we'll see an improvement on that end is with new tech. "What we have done with the new RS5 is the best we can do right at this time, but of course technology gets old quickly, so we will be able to do better once new systems arrive, such as 48 Volt systems, which we will be able to fit into cars like this one – otherwise it's more suited to SUVs like our SQ7 at the moment," added Reil. The 48 Volt electrical system would make it easier for automakers to utilize electronically spooled turbochargers to better do away with lag. "For now, like with the RS5, we have placed the turbos inside the hot vee of the engine, and that reduces the pipework and increases gas flow and throttle response; therefore, minimal lag," said Reil.
