PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS., , Good luck and Happy bidding., , , The Audi A8L W12 goes like Hell. Kick the gearbox in the sides a couple of times, mash the gas and the long-wheelbase leviathan transforms itself into a car-sized guided missile, punching through the air with terrifying resolve. And so it should. The W12 in question– two V6 powerplants connected at the crankshaft in a 'W' formation– generates 450hp. That's enough power to propel Audi's flagship from zero to sixty in five seconds dead, or accelerate from any speed to its 130mph V-max with stupendous, seamless, seductive shove., , Ah, you noticed that did you? One-three-oh is plenty fast compared to say, a Toyota Corolla, but we're talking about a top-of-the-line limo from the makers of the S4 and RS6, two cars that clearly believe that life begins at 140. You'd be forgiven for assuming Audi built the W12 to mix it with big-engined Mercs and Bimmers tear-assing up and down Germany's unrestricted Autobahns, knocking on the door of the double ton. At the very least, the W12 should top-out at 155mph, in accordance with the Fatherland's so-called "gentleman's agreement"., , But no, safety restrictions on the sedan's all-weather tires (and Audi's understandable desire to avoid another brand-crippling recall scandal) confine the W12 to twice the standard US speed limit. In fact, the same electronic limitation applies to the W12's lesser-engined siblings. Hang on; if you take top-end bragging rights out of the equation, what's the point?, , Exclusivity certainly plays a part. Audi US estimates/hopes they'll sell 150 W12's this year. The chances of seeing another W12 heading your way are about the same as bumping into a previously unknown identical twin. Of course, the joys of owning a rare Audi must be balanced against the underlying suspicion that there's a good reason why the $120k sedan isn't flying off the forecourt. Did I hear anyone say "residuals"…?, , The W12's exterior offers few external clues that you're perched atop the A8 tree. The foremost of these would be the W12's humongous snout or, in Audi speak, its "single frame grill". I say "would be" because the nose job will eventually appear on all Audis. Which leaves incorrigible car spotters with trapezoidal exhaust pipes, trunk and side badges and optional dub-clad nine-spokes. Clearly, the W12 takes nothing away from– nor adds anything to– Audi's penchant for elegant minimalism. Aside from the new corporate mug, the W12 embodies and extends the A8's stealth wealth appeal., , Inside, well, someone went nuts with the option list. The W12 comes with every conceivable comfort and toy– from sat nav to Bluetooth to seats that do everything but check you for prostate cancer (thank God). And then there are optional goodies only W12 customers can purchase: headrest-mounted DVD system, rear reclining seats, a bit more leather here and there and a 'fridge that will chill two bottles of wine down to -35F. Oh, did I forget to mention the paddleshi
