Smaller displacement will invariably mean slightly more turbo-lag. unless they performed magic. The m5 already had way too much lag.
Still i guess this might just be my next car. A selling point for the new M5 (old x5m) over audis was that it had more displacement. This engine just looks like an RS7/S8 engine clone…

Wait. Where do you see that it doesn't share the same engine as the M5? It's the same displacement, the same turbo layout, slightly more HP, and from a production standpoint, it'd be completely illogical to use a different engine. Do you have confirmation of this?
