Indeed, it adds around 100 kg the overall weight of the car, but i'm sure that audi wil be able to work around this and also they need a new gearbox for it because the one it currently has isn't up for the jo of transmitting the torque, i think they have been looking into using a dsg box, i reckon the one from the veyron would work quite well as it has more torque than the diesel so it can cope

also for the a8 that is a quick time but i'd still love to have that big v12 in there, I think it would suit the car quite well
