5 Liter, V-10 TDI

[Todd Young]

According to what I've heard (don't remember where, could have been the
QList), American fuel manufacturers are being force to clean up their diesel.
In other words, remove some of the sulfur content, which would more closely
match diesel that is produced for European countries. So we may yet see the
5liter W10 diesel here in the States.

Check out VWVortex, they have a sweet write-up on the new VW Phaeton, one of
the optional engines is the W10.

Oh, and an earlier post queried how a Tiptronic could stand up to a
twin-turbo V8, I suspect this is the same Tiptronic as will be used behind
the W12 and the W10.
