[edit] First and Second Generation
This page should be divided into generations. There have been two generations of the A8, and we need to differentiate between them. What models were offered when? Look at BMW 7-Series for a good example of what I mean. Jagvar Apr 6, 2005
[edit] W12 was VR6s?
My understanding is that the W12 was created by mating two of Audi's 3.0 litre VR6s togethor, not be mating the VR6 which is a different engine offered in 2.8 (former) and 3.2 (current) litre displacements. The 3.0 litre was used in the B6 generation A4 and is not a narrow angle VR series engine. This also makes sense mathmatically as 3.0+3.0 = 6.0 whereas 2.8 + 2.8 = 5.6 and 3.2 + 3.2 = 6.4, and the W12 is a 6.0 litre engine.
- No, the W12 is the result of mating two VR6-like designs together. It has the same size bore as a 3.2L VR6 but the same stroke as the 2.8L. It is unrelated to the Audi V6s. TomTheHand 13:14, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
