Yes but Audi does not have a twin turboharged W12 version of an A8 like the S65 

IMO one of the nicest big-body sedans out there. I'd definitely choose this over an S55.

I'd take this over the S55, too
Now if BMW built an ///M7 with a handbuilt, high revving >600 HP V12 (along the lines of the 507 HP V10 in the M5 & M6), I'd have to pick that...
Of course, BMW has said (read it once again in this month's Motor Trend or C&D) that it won't build M versions of vehicles that can't handle in the true spirit of an M-car, hence no M versions of the 7, X3, X5, or the forthcoming R-Class competitor.
Back on topic, I prefer the interior/exterior styling of the Audi anyhow, and having the Gallardo-derived engine is pretty nice, too

I think Audi is producing some beautiful machines and IMO have surpassed BMW and Benz.
Also, they make a gorgeous interior.
This is good for us as better competition has to keep Lexus on their toes.Lexus Test Driver
I can't imagine pulling up to one of these elegant and classy vehicles at the stoplight, and then hearing the snarl from the V10 as it takes off!!!!!!

I don't see where it needs any more power then it already has.....and I would take this car, hands-down, over either the M's or the AMG's. The Quattro AWD in this car, IMO, more than makes up for a few more horses in the competition. The only thing in this car I would b***h about is the MMI ( I-Drive ). Hopefully there are ways to circumvent it.Originally Posted by timoc42
with the V10 from the Gallardo, why cant they pump the engine to 500 hp, to meet face to face the cars from M and AMG, that is going above 500 hp... I would definetly get one of these, and get it with a JE Design bodykit that would be HOT!!!!
