Hi

My lady has an Audi stationwagon and thanks to that we get the "Audi
Magazine" with all the news on the market.
And here it comes, Audi is soon to launch a new model, the A8 L 6.0 Quattro
!
Want the engine for the Vanagon
It´s a W 12 yes a 12 cylinder in the shape of a W !
420 bhp, 550 Nm torque
6.0 liter = 3 x Wasserboxer  Mmmmmm
It´s supposed to be wide as a V6 and long as an inline four !!
I guess it would be up on their website soon, http://www.audi.com

How would that be for a transplant ??
Vanagon trans ?  Nah, will have to skip that in favour of the audis 4wd
system :-)
