Cool! That had metal speaker grills before metal speaker grills were a thing

Striker223

Thanks, it has B&O and it was a $6,800 option at the time and they did the metal grills as a statement

All W12s in the same shot, I'll have a much better one with all three noses out in formation later

All the black flagships

So the new VW doesn't have that great of tires, what is everyone's thoughts on the quietest tire currently out there? Goal would be the very best riding and silent option possible....

Toys4RJill

what about driving 110, 130 or 150 MPH? Is that a factor?

SW17LS

Looks like a Mob wake lol

Pirelli P7 AS3 or Pzero A/S 3

Personally speaking. I would research what the OEM tires were. And go with that for authenticity to make it original.

Striker223

Not for this car and most tires are 130 rated anyway so it won't matter.

The twin Audi W12s, phaeton is lent out to my dad to try but will be back in the morning

Found this from Car and Driver. Looks like it came with Michelin Pilot HX MXM4. That tire has been out of production for years. Lol

Carfan94

Those aren’t available In the OEM size. But the Vredestein Quatrac pro and Pirelli Pzero A/s (not the plus 3 version) are.

Striker223

Yep plus I'm sure there is quieter now lol!

SW17LS

I would choose the Vredesteins

Congrats on the pickup!

Believe it or not I saw a fair amount of Phateons around here when they were out.

I remember seeing the Phaeton I think at one of the auto shows back in the day. Definitely a cool car but I knew it was DOA. There just isn’t a market for an upscale lower tier brand at that price back then. Regardless I remember it being really nice.

Striker - what years are all your W12’s and which one do you like the best? Is the newest the best or do you feel like the older ones had better materials?
