The D2 S8 is about finesse and balance, its a ballerina.
Whereas the D3 S8 is brutal almost violent, something of a heavyweight boxer. They are very different, and each excellent in their own way. If you're in love with the way a D2 feels then I'd say skip the D3 and go for a D4. But that beautiful V10 is an itch in need of scratching....

Yeah the Porsche V8 is a big lump of stuff and shares nothing with the Audi V8s. The Audi V8s are wide but very short due to being derived from a FWD platform and having the whole engine in front of the front axle. None of the other manufacturers have similar constraints, all having started with RWD so they're generally quite a bit longer, and usually taller as they sit further back in the engine bay. The LSx can just about be made short enough with cunning combinations of accessory drives from various models, but thats practically impossible in the UK since we just don't have enough of them to play with.
