Didn’t realise what you meant at first but then noticed my typo, yes I meant a W8! Did they put that in anything else?
There is a blue saloon one that lives just off of Tottenham Court Road in LDN, the one I saw today was a gold estate.

Despite the total weight of the car the W12 in the Phaeton must be very unstressed, apparently it ‘only’ pushes out 450bhp. Bit like the NA V10 in the S8 but with different delivery.

Anyway I quite liked but it.
