Assuming transmission gearing is the same, engine braking is probably only proportional to engine displacement. Comparing the 6L W12 versus the 4.2L V8, 6.0/4.2 = 43% increase.

I thought the same thing, but JimR says "no" .. and he drove one. - Jkay 2005-02-17 17:02:21 (210 views)

Almost certainly a different transmission, though, FWIW. - JimR 2005-02-17 18:51:59 (270 views)

I would suggest if it is at all possible to go drive a Phaeton W12... - AtlasD3 2005-02-17 16:00:04 (174 views)

Perhaps the brakes are dragging lightly on the rotors. - Jkay 2005-02-17 15:16:16 (241 views)

I would love to see you build a supercharger for the W12 also! w00t! - ScotD 2005-02-18 08:14:28 (204 views)

No D2 W12s made it across the pond. - JimR 2005-02-17 14:25:46 (285 views)
