LOL! No, not doable. I commend you for you imagination though.;) ...
Cannot, me thinks.
Haha oh god...good luck. W8 is already crammed the way it came...
...This is kind of like wanting to bi-turbo the W8, or supercharging it; there's just no room....
well I was afrade of that, so I was planning on getting another car and lengthening the wheel base and the rest of the front to acomodate all of that, mabye a project that would take a year?
Hey! You might want to hook up with a fella named Ferdinand Piëch, he had a similar idea. Maybe your project will turn out as well as his did...

You gonna put it in a FWD or a 4mo??

And yer gonna need some new front coil springs.
unfortinatly its going to be a fwd, idk how that will work, not positive if the phaeton or any other car it was made for had a fwd option. id probably be alot of :wrench: and it might :driving: me :crazy:, but hopfuly i wont get to :mad: and :banghead:, but i might loose a lot of :sleep: over it. just thinking about how cool it would be makes me want to :puke:for some reason, but it will be :thumbup: and you all will :bowdown: me one day. I like these :)s haha
