W8, 4.0, 271bhp 4Motion.
Nice.
Used to be one near us, such a nice engine note, a real sleeper. Though the R36 is 295bhp.

3.6 V6 R36 4MOTION 4d DSG     5.4 s     155 mph     295 bhp
4.0 W8 4MOTION 4d                     6.3 s     155 mph     271 bhp

Save the money and get an RS4 instead.

And only 270bhp from that W8 lump? Frugal! :lipsrsealed:
