As far as I can tell from speaking with the Audi folks last year, they feel that 
the W12 is too expensive as a solution, and the V8 with Turbos or a Superchager is 
a more cost effective solution.  They have a Turbo Diesel V8 that makes 250 Hp 
flying around the test tracks in an A8.  6 Litres per 100 Km at 160 Kmh. Good 
economy.
