Saw a lovely 6.0 A8 burbling round Amsterdam this morning...
Wasn't badged as an 'S' model, just 6.0 Quattro
Looked the absolute danglies - black paint job,HUGE alloys, must have been 20 inch.
Anyone had a go with one of these?

6-litre W12 engine. It's basically two 3.0 V6 (as found in A4/A6/golf/passat....) glued together at the crank. Big capacity but very small over all engine - takes up minimal space over the 3.0 V6 
Released as a test bed for the engine more than a serious model, but 12-cylinders, 6.0 and 400+bhp, it isn't going to be slow! A 4.0 W8 engine is available in the Passat for similar reasons.
'W' engines are playing an enormous part in VW groups future especially for Audi, Bentley and Bugatti. The Bugatti Veyron (the 252mph, 1001BHP supercar) uses a 8 litre W16 engine (2x passat W8).

Let's face it, if it is anything like all the other 'sporty' Audi's currently on sale, you will get more fun and enjoyment out of a ten year old Justy
