I presume that a guy that works for AC Schnitzer knows all the details too, I personally don't find it very important.
Did you read my post? I already said that the "twinpower" name has been used on twin-turbo units. But only the V12s and never the predecessor N54. Read the link I posted.

And again none of that is relevant to your original post. "Twinpower" is irrelevant.

You said the guy on the phone said the "twin turbo" turbo engine. Which is again, 100% wrong. Twin turbo =/= "twinpower".

What are you attempting to argue?

The statement the guy made on the phone was indisputably wrong. It's a not a twin turbo engine. Period. End of discussion.
