Yes I know but extremely wide profile and highly un-obtainable…. The the reference reminded me of the VW/Audi configuration…Very different…

I was thinking about the twin-turbo W-12 in the Bentley Continental GT

Holy sheet…. I forgot about the W engines….I was just leaving as they came out… Audi W-12 or VW? I think those are OHC engines… I will research that. Thanks for the reminder….

Brian,

That would suit you pretty well (and probably me too).  I like Dick Kock's supercharged Cleveland, a twin-turbo Cleveland, or a Bentley Twin-Turbo W-12.

I'd go for a BMW V12 from a 750, if it will push that barge over 150, it
should scoot you past 200.  Michael.
