544hp for a twin turbo v12 seems way underpowered, especially for a car that heavy. I guess that can be fixed though with an aftermarket ecu remap.

EDIT: The two exhaust gas turbochargers specially developed for the new V12, thanks to the small cylinder angle of 60o, fit perfectly and in compact arrangement on the outside of the two rows of cylinders, each supplying six cylinders with compressed air. Through their position they provide the ideal configuration for short, straight and therefore aerodynamically efficient pipe connections between the exhaust manifold and the turbochargers. In combination with the catalytic converters optimised for minimum counter‐pressure, the design and configuration of the exhaust gas manifolds sets the basis for the outstandingly spontaneous and direct response of the twelve‐cylinder as well as its supreme power and torque.

Alpina will soon, well I hope so, bring out the Alpina B7 S that is based on the 760i/Li, and it will by all means get at least 100 hp more. After that it will be possible to upgrade the 760i/Li by Noelle Motors. It is not underpowered. What is really problematic is that is heavier than the previous one, and than the S, and the next A8 will get even lighter. In the same time I know that a heavier the car is more comfortable and sure it is in case of collision.

Thats just crazy. I can't open a pdf on computer that I am currently on. Does it mention how much torque it makes?
It is not impossible to run a single turbo on a V engine. I have seen several single turbo V6's and V8's. |

Supras are inline 6's. But there are some single turbo 350z's out there. They just have awesome crazy looking manifolds.
553 lb-ft wow. thats a lot of torque for a lot of car |
