W12 left over after bently v6 tdi swap

I don't know how I feel about this. I'd kind of like the w12! But this swap is just weird. Too much € and time on his hands I think:

Had to share!

It's interesting, that's for sure.

I'm a fan of the Phaeton, always wanted an 04 in the aubergine lacquer with black interior but they're too much of a pig for my wallet and maintenance would probably kill me because of how complex they are.

I never did want a W12 car though, and I would have preferred it had VW brought the Phaeton with the V6 tdi to the US...now that would be a car I'd probably suffer through maintenance wise to drive.

Just don't make me buy one with the Sonnen beige interior....ick.

That swap would be really tough to pull off this side of the pond since the tdi phaeton was never offered in the states. An importer or individual would have to really jump through hoops to get the drivetrain here and even then it would probably be illegal.

For me this would be a v10-equipped car.

If you go on mobile.de people are practically giving such cars away...probably because they are prohibitively expensive to fuel in Europe.
