Now, does this mean the upper-end A8s, or the S8 will have possibly Lamborghini-sourced V10s and the W12 edition will be gone? Or, will a range-topper A8 now sport a V12, or will it be offered with the V10? A Lambo-sourced V10 is a damn-good thing, nonetheless!!! It appears that the Bentley Continental range will continue with the W12.
