I'm pretty sure the D2 W12 varient was only (only!) 420 bhp.... The D3 was 450...

Given the lack of scope for getting much more out the 4.2 V8's, I'd be surprised if that W12 is really chucking out 500.. an extra 80 without blowers sounds a bit steep to me even for ABT... I think there must be an element of rounding up going on, 500 seems a very round number +++

Go on Ian - pop over and give it the once over, then give us the low-down.....it can't be far from you...you know you want to... Has A8 Parts got any LWB rear door skins available to fix that damage...?! Do the W12s use the same gearbox as the othr D2s?

I would not be surprised at all considering that Bentley GT used same engine with 553 BHP and new one with re-engineered W12 engine 630 BHP. 420-500 is only 19% difference. Surely it can be done with some intake, exhaust, camshaft and head/valve changes accompanied with engine management an slightly increased rpm.
