Somebody could make a good comment with a little more info, tell Audi that you post here and I'm sure they will fill you in. Okay, maybe not.

I yanked it off a site from the Netherlands, there was info... I just couldn't read it... other than "500hp V10" which caught my eye.

I will get some more info but I beleive the V10 is the same engine as the TDI for the Touareg but gear and modofied for the Audi A8. If you want a diesel you cannot do better IMO.

However there was a concept with the V10 twin turbo that has 600 HP...

A back seat pic with a honey:



Here is a link to that one and they start around $118,000 for the W12 model.

It could also be the 500hp Lambo Gallardo V10, as VW/Audi is rumored to be considering placing that motor into the next generation RS6.

Yea, if you have the bling, the girls are an easy to acquire option. This A8 seams to be equiped with "Executive Barbie".

DAMN the bucket seats

That price sucks but I like the car.

I'm in love with the S4 though
