wow, that car is truly german engineering at its finest.

As far as I know, all the German engines are built with a combination of hand and computer build technology. All specifications are checked by lasers, for quality, and thoroughly inspected to exacting qualifications. FSI is a way of directly injecting the fuel with the greatest control and efficiency with pinpoint accuracy right in the head instead of through the intake manifold. The results are spectacular. More power and higher MPG. WOW!!!

The V8 FSI which is currently in the R8 and RS4 are shared by both models. As far as I know, the engines are not hand built because of the mass amount of produced engines.
FSI ( Fuel Stratified Injection ) is a new technology, however it is quite temperamental.
The fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber at a very high pressure. This helps to control fuel economy and get a better swirl zone for the fuel and air mixture.
Like I said, it is quite temperamental, there are a few components that fail. However, with the move towards everything being more environmentally friendly, FSI technology will be used more in the future because of the easier control of metered fuel in the injection process.
