While making small talk with a co-worker who also happens to be a "Car Guy" of the German variety, I brought up the subject of W12's. Much to my surprise he tells me he knows of a source that has several W12's available. These particular W12's are not from wrecks but from previous Audi test bed cars that are prohibited from being sold, but were purchased and dismantled for parts. For "chits-n-giggles" I inquired about cost. The price quote for the engine and all required electronics was 12K, which included shipping from Europe to Portland International airport.
This engine swap is more than I would like to take on, but these things look sweet as seen here. If anyone desires such an exotic item, let me know and I will provide contact information.
