Outputs 412kW (560hp) and 1,200Nm of torque - 5.3 second 0 - 100km/h dash.

Doesnt mention anything about strengthening the gearbox. there is already a warning not to up the torque for fear of it letting go.
Also would make it a suv costing more then $300k which plainly is just stupid.

I just checked the price of the standard V12... $275K!!

now that is plainly just stupid too.

why are they more than twice the price of the 3.0L at $120K?? sure the engine is twice the size, but feck thats a hike for the top of the range model.

building the nose has led to a resurgence of the noble craft of brick laying, it's a mobile wall

I suppose, but why wouldnt you have the v10 supercharged HSE range rover

Seen the cost of the ceramic brakes to replace? Did i read $30k a time? probably 2 sets inside the 100,000 k's which does add a mountain to the service costs for audi.
I reckon the best value is still the 4.2 tdi remapped. Can get 1000Nm from it and still have anough for a new S4 as well!
Yes please.

People that can afford these don't care about "value", they would be purchased by Posh and Becks, etc....

for those demanding trips to the supermarket

GlenT · August 12, 2009, 02:19:46 PM

Posh and Becks would need all that torque to carry their wallets to the supermarket.

SteveC · August 12, 2009, 02:42:31 PM

I was being ironic, one has people to go to the supermarket, whatever that is . . . .

probably should have said Ascot or Harrods or Fortnum & Masons
