Audi A8 W12, Wiscombe Park, May 2009

[FUCK202]

ill rephrase that - is the sound stock or has something been modified to change it?

[FUCK202]

Is it stock or modified?

[ciumilica]

That thing could go much faster!!!

Transporter Mission.



[czlowieksamozlo]

it's not a WRC or even a sportscar! it's made for EATING kilometers on a motorway, not for challenge.

[dfcquattro]

@czlowieksamozlo - and so are you!

[jsf79]

Love the vid! Thanks for posting it. I've got a 2005 4.0tdi A8 and would love to try it on a course like u did but doubt if I'd have the nerve!

None the less it's cracking to see one of these awesome cars really being given a work out.

[leite22222]

this is an s8.the sound is v10 sound.

[VR6dome1]

@leite22222 no this is w12 the v10 sounds higher

[veyronman]

@leite22222 incorrect

[PaganiZondaF650hp]

Just wanna add, the A8 W12 has two rectangular exhausts, the VW Phaeton W12 has four

[dfcquattro]

@PaganiZondaF650hp Boys - please - thanks for your interest in MY car but I can assure you that your knowledge of the D3 Audis is more than a little flawed! This is a 2005 Audi A8 W12! (The S8 did not come out until 2007!) As for the parts on the car - it has 390mm C6 RS6 front brakes but that does not make it an RS6! If you look at the walk around (that is me lifting the hood and exposing the W12) the V10 DOES NOT look like that! It is a modified A8

[dfcquattro]

@dfcquattro If you want to send me an Email address Iwill send you a couple of pictures to try andconvince you.

[PaganiZondaF650hp]

@dfcquattro @mrennie25 SORRY i watched the walkaround, and it is really a modded W12 with an aftermarket oval exhaust and all the chrome S-line stuff

[PaganiZondaF650hp]

ain't that the s8??

[mrennie25]

@PaganiZondaF650hp nope, a8 w12. s8 had a v10. big difference

[PaganiZondaF650hp]

@mrennie25 @skellers1979 I just took a closer look and IT IS THE S 8. it has the V10 sound, it has the typical S line chrome grill and sideview mirrors, it has the little spoiler and it has the 4 oval exhuasts, the W12 has 4 square exhausts. @skellers1979 you should correct the title and description...

[mrennie25]

@PaganiZondaF650hp watch the walk around video, they pop open the hood

[mrennie25]

@PaganiZondaF650hp but i will agree with the fact that it seems to have a s8 grill. this video is too low quality to officially tell imo

[PaganiZondaF650hp]

@mrennie25 at about 1:00 you can clearly see the 4 exhausts. this is clearly the S8. i am kind of ashamed that i was not totally sure the first time i saw the vid. also at numerous parts of the vid including 1:00 you can see the little spoiler in the boot lid which the W12 does not have.

[mrennie25]

@PaganiZondaF650hp yeah the little spoiler was a give away for me too for it being a s8, but you can just smack that thing on there. isn't the s8 a little wider than the a8?

[SRQshark]

Beautiful sound!!!!!

[dfcquattro]

In this order:- Thank you, Yes and Very.

[dodgydyl]

Nice motor, what is it like to maintain?? costly i bet?? reliable??

[dfcquattro]

@nuddels101w12 Mein deutscher Freund, dieses Auto ist meiner! Ich kann Ihnen garantieren, dass es ein 6.0 Liter W12 Audi A8 ist, der mit vielen Teilen S8 und RS6 geändert worden ist - ich sollte wissen, weil ich an diesem Auto und I arbeitete, es zu besitzen! Sie offensichtlich wissen nicht, soviel wie Sie denken, dass Sie über Audis tun. Deshalb sprechen Sie solchen Abfall!

[DieMitte10]

@dfcquattro

Glückwunsch zu solch einem tollen Fahrzeug =)

[Andreas1986xyz]

@dfcquattro

although you're german is far from perfect, it's nice to see an englishman speaking german.

[dfcquattro]

@Andreas1986xyz I do try, I just hope my amateurish German was understandable. Are you German or English? (by the way the "you're" you used should have been "your").

[Andreas1986xyz]

@dfcquattro

that's right indeed. Sadly my english also far from perfect. it is only B1 level. too less for an international career. you english people should feel lucky that you've learned these important language as little childs.

[Andreas1986xyz]

@dfcquattro

this instead of these...

[dfcquattro]

@Andreas1986xyz No......as I've already said it is a W12 engined A8.

[skellers1979]

.....and @dfcquattro should know it's a W12 because it is his car.....

[bill1204]

S8 not a W12

[dfcquattro]

@bill1204 One of the main giveaways is.....you cannot get a D3 S8 in "Night Blue". Other hints are, the W12 badges on the grill and boot-lid and the bloody great 6 litre W12 engine under the bonnet and the RS6 wheels! Not to mention the fact that the ABT body kit will not fit on an S8 front bumper and boot lid with the standard Audi "lip" on it. Try clicking on the link to "Have a look around this car"! It is a 2005 Audi (SWB) A8 W12 trust me!

[TonyMontanaR620]

Luxury POWER

[Cytr0gen]

no wonder the transporter chose this car....

[vo7tage]

to quote Clarkson... POWER 

[trikezx6r]

Excellent Sound And Video

[bentleyv8t]

ive never seen an Audi A8 modified before. Nice sound though. How do you afford it? What do you work as?

[dfcquattro]

Thanks......an entepener an engineer and a nutter (not necessarily in that order). Cheers

[bentleyv8t]

@dfcquattro youre not the original poster. How do you know?

[dfcquattro]

Because I own it.

No, I didn't post the clips but that's because I didn't "take" the shots.....I was too busy driving it!

[bentleyv8t]

@dfcquattro good point. Whats exactly do entrepreneurs do anyway?

[dfcquattro]

Anything to make money....so I'm not sure that I really qualify. Delete that option as my possible profession and go for either number two or number three options.

[bentleyv8t]

@dfcquattro so youre an engineer then? In what?

[dfcquattro]

Computers.............

[bentleyv8t]

@dfcquattro okay.Didnt know computer engineers made so much money. lol.

[dfcquattro]

They don't anymore....I'm from when computers were even bigger than my car!

[bentleyv8t]

@dfcquattro oh. so youre like retired then?

[dfcquattro]

Well......not quite but I don't do too much in that field anymore.

[GaryST220]

Fantastic.

[A4cabrio2]

This is an S8 !!!

[dfcquattro]

I bought it, I own it, it's parked in my garage and I drive it......then along comes you - someone who seems to know something that I don't...........believe me this car was a 2005 Audi A8 W12 when it left the Audi plant, still is and always will be.....NOT an S8!!!!

[aviator55]

sound good, stock exaust?

[dfcquattro]

As you are probably aware with the stock exhaust, a W12 is almost silent. I removed everything from the cats backwards and had a very special system made (4 large-bore straight-through pipes with just a massive empty crossover in the middle) believe it or not it has no silencers at all but is quite acceptable until opened up.

[aviator55]

indeed stock W12 is quiet

nice sound without silencers, have you do a video ?

[HenryGarnon]

Soud really good but not stock

[dfcquattro]

Correct...!

[vindicator2008]

hardly stock.. also do not know why they replaced the side mirrors for chrome mirrors.

[dfcquattro]

It's not supposed to be "stock" - nobody ever said it was! By the way, the mirrors are not chrome....they are standard Audi S8 brushed aluminium mirror covers and "they didn't change them......I did!

[MrGermancarlover]

this is audi s8 cuz the a8 w12 has a bigger darker grill but who cares any way they both audi which means they both are awesome

[dfcquattro]

Oh, I didn't realise that, I thought the 6.0 litre Audi W12 lump under the bonnet and the A8 badges made it an A8W12.....? Thanks for telling me.

[wolfsburg53]

I love the car, just didn't like to hear the slush box letting it down.

[dfcquattro]

Unfortunately there are not a lot of options...........not withstanding it would be undrivable in a hillclimb with a manual box and I'm sure that (as with an RS6) a W12 has more than enough torque to be continually damaging a manual drive train.

Thanks anyway.

[dfcquattro]

Trust me.......this IS an A8 W12!

[100penas]

this is a S8 V10, not a A8 w12

[ScuderiaBull]

are you completely drunk, you need brain surgery!!!

my dad's best man got a w12 and it's the same like this 1!

Anyway the V10 is the S8 AUDI, witch is a completely other car! (sport version)

[4321pingpong]

amazing car

[audifanatic]

i just came to this video....BBEEAAUUUTTTTYYYYYYYY­Y

[A8OC]

Nice one fella, glad to see you're giving it proper beans :o)
