Default I don't beleive it
Audi would have to be completely insane to have an engine like that in the S8 with the current W12. It's like having an A4 3.2 and pricing it ahead of a S4.

Ther will be a 5 litre FSI V10 (It is already listed in ETKA), but has no specification as to what chassis it will be in.

Does the W12 currently come in the SWB in Europe? or just in the A8L

Default SWB and LWB for the RoW...
March production saw a change for the SWB W12 with new transmission ratios to improve performance and move the 0-100 km/h to 4.9 sec.

Default So a SWB W12 is coming to the US? Didn't think that was so?
Yet. If so there's our S8D3, I guess.

I doubt the SWB W12 will be sold in North America.

Sorry if it has been asked before, but why no W12 for the new A8?
