It's hilarious how they try to differentiate between biturbo and twin turbo. Bi=two, twin=two. One, Two turbos. Jesus Christ.
Well they ARE different systems.

We already have the new A8 W12, don't need the S8 anymore they go for pennies second hand over here.

The new 6 litre A8 is an all Aluminium W12, 450bhp and 428lbs/ft, 6 speed tip and 8.5 x 19" rims standard. It weighs in at 1.9tonne and does 0-60 in 5.1 seconds, onto a limited 155mph but it needs 98 octane fuel which might be a problem for you guys.

12 cylinders. 450HP. AWD. 2 metric tons. I'm thinking 45-50 MPG City/60-75 Highway.

I saw black S8 on the road last summer... 400 north in barrie. Couldnt keep up with him, i think he was convinced the 400 was an autobahn. seemed like he had the cruise set at 200 km/h :P

but yes, stunning car... absolutely insane. Much more subtle than an M5.
