The D3 A8 is one of my fav saloon shapes ever. Perfect proportions. The A8's that came after it never came close...

Luc Besson is a fan too, with them being in Taken and From Paris With Love lol

Bump

After years of being relentlessly reliable as a daily this beast has finally let me down.

Starter motor has gone and it’s a beast of a job to fix.

Car is for sale for repair or parts ( hopefully not parts )

Any mechanics or anyone in the forum fancy putting this train back on the road let me know.

Sale price looking 2-2.5

Edit, got mixed up for a second its a v10 🤦‍♂️

Carthrottle just did a video on an s6 with the non-turbo version of this engine in it and it seems its engine out for a fair few jobs so sounds likely.

What a beast though, whats the mileage @chrisdromore ?

Been watching some of the RE Performance videos, everything on R8's, RS6's and the Lambo equivalents seems to be the same, engine out for almost everything. Having said that, 80's Ferrari's and Lambo's were the same, big engines = big bills.. 🤷‍♂️
