I second that!

It would be especially interesting to hear about complexity and cost to make the motor mounts, cutting the frame (?) and all the little thingies that drive up the cost.

As I mentioned in the other thread; I think these are the same A8 engines that Spyker is using. I talked to the owner of Spyker last year (still the owner of Saab until the Chinese buy him out) and they are using the Audi engine because it is virtually bullet proof and can easily be tuned.
Drop the same engine in a Boxster and I'm sure it will keep up with a Spyker. Hence the interest.
