with the V10 from the Gallardo, why cant they pump the engine to 500 hp, to meet face to face the cars from M and AMG, that is going above 500 hp...
also it would be interesting to see what real top speed this car can do without the limiter... can it reach 300km/h +?

I honestly think the Audi A8 (long wheelbase) is a beautiful car, and my only reservation is the overall length, its just a bit too long for my taste. (I also prefer the short wheel base 7series to the "LI" model).
I really think the car is perfect now, seriously. Even the new Audi corporate grille flows. Its alot sportier in appearance while not being overdone or outlandish.
Score for Audi, great execution

A8 W12
Displacement: 5998 cc
Horsepower: 450 bhp @ 6200 rpm
Torque: 428 lb-ft @ 4000-7000 rpm
0-60 mph: 5.0 sec
Doesn't look like it's faster.
Likewise, S55 is no faster than the S600 but is more sportily tuned
