Default W12 Chase Scene

Just watched that Kevin Costner film called "3 Days to Kill" and there was a chase scene in it with an A8 D3. It looked like a LWB and it had pre-facelift rear lights and a W12 grille, but it only had the two round exhaust tips at the rear. Is that correct? I thought a W12 should have the shrouded, in-bumper system?

Not a bad film. Bit cheezy in parts but cool that there was a bit of A8 action in there..... but the car meets a grizzly end.

Sounds like the same as the car used in transporter, it was a fake as well, no sense wrecking a w12 when a little 3.7 will do eh?

Wait for the abuse to start flying

Why would you want to wreck amazing 7.3 (3.7 is The New 7.3) if you can do the same with 5.2
