Audi BioGas A4 hits 327.2km/h

Germany, the largest automotive market in Europe, the world's third largest economy and home to the Autobahn and Nurburgring, had always a shy hind sight dragging its feet - 100% of its oil and gas are imported from Russia. In short, a simple 'NO' from Dmitry Medvedev's puppet master Vladimir Putin is all it needs to halt all progress in Germany. Hence a search or promotion or any alternative (renewable or non) are always a good thing to be had in Germany. Audi, in a publicity stunt that promotes the usage of BioGas had took a run-of-the-mill Audi A4 B7, stuck in the 2.7 liter V6 BiTurbo engine from the B5 RS4, bore it to 3.0 ltr, and with a few tweaks, producing 585hp (originally developing 380hp), filled with BioGas and hit 327.2km/h. How much more guilt free can one have when travelling at 300km/h produces no CO2?
