you can get a v8 for a mk4 in the USA so id imagine its possible

its hard to tell if any of these are real especially the salloon one as you can get those sound boxes with speakers mounted under the car that make the noise of a v8

the MK2 with the Audi 4.2 in the boot is genuine, there's a vid of it on a rolling road, and a flypast.

the MK3 Saloon is fake.

My MK2 3.0 rocks when you rev it, V8 long moutn will rock loads in an astra.
