2005 Audi A8 L 4.2 quattro (as 6.0 W12) D3 [Typ 4E]
Transporter 2 (2005)
dagon LVThis has nothing to do with the armored car, I doubt its even meant as one, since its obviously not like the real world bullet resistant vehicle at all, even 9 mils would have put dents in the windows after what 60 rounds, its obviously one of those fake movie bullet-proof cars not meant as a nod to real world VIP vehicles, I always wonder why no one mentions the apparent bullet-proofness in the movies.

Because this one has Center Mount High Stop Light as seen at the rear window :)

Can't argue with that.
So it is of course a 1986 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, series 6D which I think is the only year this gril was used with the CHMSL, oddly I think the Cadillac script in the grill has fallen off.

Lee Richards USWhy 1986? Werent these dowsized in 1985? If I recall themain production years for this body style was 1977-1984. But the front was changed in 1980. The only full-sized Cadillac still in production was the Brougham, that went until '92. As I say, I may be wrong. 2011-07-27 20:48

Ollie UKI can answer these questions.

The W12 is the logical choice, not the S8, for three main reasons. Firstly, in stock form it has the same power as the S8 V10, but more torque spread across a wider range, which is what you need to shift a heavy, armoured vehicle. One also presumes, this being Jason Statham, that he has added forced induction (ala RS6 or Conti GT) for extra power. The W12 bi-turbo in stock form is the heavyweight of the VAG range, and more tunable than the V10 lump.

The S8 V10 is NOT, by the way, derived from the original Gallardo engine. They are very different engines and this is a common misconception.

But the second, is simply that they did not make the S8 in a lwb chassis, and he does use it for transporting VIPs doesn't he.

The last, and perhaps most compelling reason, is that (probably) the most advanced bullet-resistant real-world vehicle is the Audi A8L W12 Armoured, which costs around half a million pounds. Although they wouldn't have used one to film, surely this is what the movie is based on. Interestingly, it contains a number of innovative features, including explosive doors for emergency exit following a crash! It has landmine protection and glass that will withstand high velocity rifle fire as standard, yet looks very similar to a standard W12. Unless of course you wind down the inches-thick, steel-encased electric windows...

No doubt about it, the S8 is a fantastic car, but the W12 is the daddy.

ecclefechan wrote Awful film. The car chase action is bland, the CGI is completely laughable and cheap looking and the scrawny female "assassin" is the least believable character in cinematic history.



And A8 was supposedly made out of hyperalloy...

Transporter 2 (2005)
walter ITNow I'm almost convinced that this A8 is a 4.2 with a W12 logo, because, as well as of rear exhausts noticed in my comment above, you can also see the steering wheel design, which is the simple one (pre 2004 restyling) and not the "single-frame looking" one, standard feature of the W12. So this is a 4.2 quattro modified as 6.0 W12 :) 2011-04-10 23:07
