I knew about the W12 in the Phaeton, but did not know about this engine or that it had been available in the Passat. Now two of these cars turned up at neighborhood lots a block apart. Both 2003, both pale metallic green, both 4Motion, both manumatic, one a wagon with matching green leather and the other a sedan with tan leather. I looked up the engine and it's two narrow-angle VR4s side by side. Looks hellaciously complicated, but they look like pretty nice cars. Just dreaming. Stephen |
