Damn, that sounds like a nightmare. Maybe an Audi V12 tdi is a better idea.

The newer MB V12TT cars require the engine (or subframe) to be pulled in order to service some things. I don't think the Audi V12 TDI is any better.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think a second turbo is just asking for trouble. I mean maybe to win Le Mans where 3362.5 miles is the record distance covered, and who would’ve thought, that by an Audi diesel. In the real world, my E30 325i with the normally aspirated single cam six is a nice balance. I am willing to go a little bit higher to be sure.

But the V10 TDI Touareg strikes me as an expensive toy for the guy who couldn’t decide between a Maserati or Porsche for his fourth vehicle.
