What I don't understand is why Audi didn't apply the new naming nomenclature for this model (perhaps they will, it's not road ready yet, and not for sale yet either), Might as well. NO ONE knows what a 'W12' is either. Given the new nomenclature: (excluding S and RS models)

over 536hp+ = 70 badge. New A8 W12 = 592bhp. So......

This should be called the A8 70. I think that's fair. I really hope they do reconsider the naming. Back in the day for the European D3s, The W12s were badged: "A8 6.0" Makes more sense to me anyway. Nonetheless, bring on that A8 70!

This is amazing! I also noticed the MMI is very responsive. The next video that played is very informative and in english. He goes through a lot of the MMI menus. It also confirms that none of the A8's will have actual exhaust openings in the bumper.

This car is "60TFSI" with 4L V8.
Have not seen official Audi announcement for V8.
