Hi 

My lady has an Audi stationwagon and thanks to that we get the "Audi Magazine" with all the news on the market.
And here it comes, Audi is soon to launch a new model, the A8 L 6.0 Quattro !
Want the engine for the Vanagon 
It�s a W 12 yes a 12 cylinder in the shape of a W !
420 bhp, 550 Nm torque 
6.0 liter = 3 x Wasserboxer  Mmmmmm
It�s supposed to be wide as a V6 and long as an inline four !! 
I guess it would be up on their website soon, http://www.audi.com 

How would that be for a transplant ??
Vanagon trans ?  Nah, will have to skip that in favour of the audis 4wd system :-)
