Default New S8

I have heard that there will be a W12 for the new S8 putting out over 500 to 550. There will be a A8L version with W12 putting out 450 hp. Hope Audi Twin turbos the W12 putting out more than 600 hp. If anyone has info I'd like to hear it

Default I thought the D3 (new) A8L was supposed to receive the four cam 48V 6L W12

I also thought and was also hoping that the D3 (new) S8 would receive the Lambourghini four cam 60V 6.2L V12 producing about 550 hp and 450-455 lbs/ft of torque. On the new top of the line Lambourghini, this V12 produces about 580 hp and 475-480 lbs/ft of torque. I guess this is not the case. But who knows for sure just yet? Definitely not me.

I know for sure that the new A8L will have the 6L 60V W12 putting out 450 or more H.P.
