Wait, whaaaaaaa? I thought only the Phaeton got that engine. You know, for differentiation. And because Piech is a madman.

Nope, all generations of the A8 got a W12 too. You want a unicorn? Try finding a W12 D2. They sold 750, only in Europe and Asia.

do you have to remove the engine for an oil change and change head light bulbs?

So awesome to see, so terrifying to own.

These are basically two VR6s sharing a crankshaft, right?

I honestly didn’t know that, but since it wasn’t a US model, I don’t feel as bad as I do about the A8 :D

Good point, but I wouldn’t want to deal with the potential maintenance issues there. Especially since the 4.2 is plenty powerful and quite reliable and easy to work on in applications where it has a timing belt and facing the right way.

Yep, the W12 was the engine for people who were just too bored with the V10 tdi and thought it might be just a wee bit too reliable and predictable.

I want to see one of these on air suspension and deep dish wheels. That would be so beautiful.

T he mouth isn’t the relevant  orifice here.  I think this and most Audis look like suppositories.

I can live with that, as long as I don’t have to live with an Audi.
