That looks really cool...
"The 2011 Audi A8L is powered by a new 6.3-liter FSI W12 nuclear plant that replaces the previous 6.0-liter engine. The 2011 Audi A8L develops 368 kW (500 hp) and 625 Nm (460.98 lb-ft) at 3,250 rpm. The 2011 Audi A8L comes with the company's quattro all-wheel-drive system, naturally, and an eight-speed tiptronic gearbox." 6.3 liter W12 sounds thirsty

I don't think it will be as thirsty as a D2 S8, the old 6.0 W12 does 28 MPG on a run and most new engines that come out are more economical that the outgoing one. That's why I made that post about the S8s gearing/22MPG earlier. I struggle to think of anything less fuel efficient. Maybe a Hummer?

Ya should be a bit better:
"EU cycle test result is only 12.0 liters per 100 kilometers (19.6 US mpg), a figure well below that of competitors’ cars with V12 engines. The previous 6.0-liter engine, which had a power output of 331 kW (450 hp), recorded a fuel consumption of 13.6 l/100 km (17.3 US mpg) – the difference of 1.6 l/100 km is equivalent to a 12 percent improvement." So if my figures are correct - about 24 MPG (Uk and Ireland) as against approx 21 MPG for the old version.
