The Conti's lesser-spotted cousin also packs a dozen. Who's feeling brave? 🙋
While Shed of the Week’s value-based selection criteria often brings it back to the same type of car – Tony narrowly missing out on what would have been hisyesterday – Brave Pill tries to bring something new and fresh every week, even if the car in question is used and slightly wrinkly. But that desire for exclusivity does often mean the need to wait for rarer potential Pills to enter the classifieds.
But that’s clearly what Audi feared would happen – because Mercedes and BMW were both offering V12 engines in the equivalent S-Class and 7 Series. The naturally aspirated 6.0-litre W12 that Volkswagen had created for the Phaeton had been fitted to the earlier D2 generation A8 for a couple of years.
A few private buyers did take the bait, but Audi itself was almost certainly the W12’s best customer in the UK. A significant percentage of the cars that made it here were first registered by the company itself to act as executive limousines, this being the period when a Z-lister heading to the TV Quick awards could blag a chauffeured Audi for the ride so the car would be seen in the red carpet shots.
