VW sales are down 58% and they're looking to cut 5k jobs. I think that
spells trouble for the sales leader in the US.

You mean the S-Class has no W-16, so how can it compare to the A-8?

the A8 has or will very soon have a 12 cylinder engine in the US
it should be clear that the poster of the "W-16" comment made an
honest mistake
[kinda big and piggish, but nevertheless, it will have a 12 cylinder,
I believe a "W" configuration, which is two VR6s together...]

However, a "W16" has been developed for the new Bugatti supercar.

Yupp. It's essentially two 24 valve VR6s mated at the crank. VW found the
benefits of this engine years ago with the Corrado SLC.
