That was a really good report. The car has received a bunch of automotive news reports, but I think this one rates the 'best' I've seen.

Now if I recall VW is involved with the basic motor design in some way. I saw a schematic of the engine and it's quite impressive with more 'gears' and stuff going on than you would think possible. Like the 4 turbos! Seems to me it's similiar to the VW "W" block design, not a V, but a 'W'.

VW's "W-6", in production now. Think THREE of them end to end, 18 cylinders! Oh, and it's four wheel drive.
