V10 sports sedans: BMW no longer the only game in
7/31/2006 6:43 PM

I'm pretty impressed with the new Audi V10 S6, they skipped one step ahead of BMW and have offered the first V10 avant.

0-62mph in 5.2 isn't bad for a grocery fetcher!  I'm suprised they are offering it with Tiptronic instead of their DSG.

Simply putting aV10 in a fancy volkwagen does not make it ahead of a BMW.  Have they got a v12?

Re:  12 cylinder Audis, a dry-sump W12 is offered in the A8L 6.0.  Their only V12, as far as I know, is the diesel V12 from their 24 Heures du Mans winning R10 that also won at Sebring this year.  I believe that a diesel V12 based on this engine will be available in either an A8 or one of their S cars soon.
