RS6 turbo motor available!
What would you think is involved in swapping an RS6 twin turbo motor into an Audi A8 or VW Phaeton?
I found one in a junk yard not too far from me. Also has the 5 speed tip.

Second thought.
1; Your car is still under warranty.
2; The car way too heavy, you wouldn't be impressed with the performance.
3; It would be tough to sell your original engine.
In your case, I would upgrade to the W12.

Tozo couldn't be more correct...
The performance increase compared to the $75k to $100k it will cost you to do the swap is very little. The 4.2T won't fit witout some major customizing and possibly resolving the frame rails. Just by a Continental Flying Spur and save yourself time and money.

Re: Second thought.
RS6 motor has more torque and comes in sooner than the W12.
What can I do to become impressed more with its performance, besides selling it? There's gotta be something more.
Warranty doesn't bother me much - I own it outright. In two years the warranty expires. I can wait.
I don't need to sell my original engine.
