Audi: Working on Murcielago-killer?

Street word has it that Audi might be working on an even beefier version of the Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro, slated as Murcielago-killer.

According to an anonymous source cited – not quoted – by InsideLine, the automaker is "experimenting with an even faster supercar that will dare to go head-to-head with the Lamborghini Murciélago LP640." While that won't make the crew from Sant'Agate particularly pleased, the line from InsideLine leaves a lot open to interpretation. Are we talking about an all-new supercar? A V12-powered R8 (not the TDI)?
