 Today morning RollsRoyce sharholders agreed on the sale of Rolls Royce to VW.

 BMW  who deliver V8 and V12 engines, transmissions and interior systems to RR
 announced that they will cancel all contracts and quit the delivery of
 components aas soon as possible.

 Congratulations Herr Piech,
 we are looking forward to a sportive 1,8T Bentley Arnage and an economic V6
 2.5 TDI Silver Seraph.

 Guess it was a strategic decision to have the sharholders assembly on a
friday

Just thought that you should know that VW wont be using those engines that you
mention. They will most likely use the W12 motor (V12 480 HP) the most
powerfull normally aspirated motor in the world, and the V8 motor like in the
Audi A8.
