Skip the W12, I have one in an A8 and it is a nice smooth Torquey engine but without Turbos it will never match the CTTS or even my 4.2 Audi RS6. The W12's have been known to be reliable engines and are the basis for the W16 in the Bugatti Veyron, but with 4 Turbos and 1000HP.

Only 20 lb/ft Torque more than a Turbo S and 200bhp less, plus a heavier engine. Add Cat bypasses to the Turbo S and gain back that 20lb/ft of Tq and gain another 10~20lb/ft of HP.
Your talking about fuel system changes as well as all of the involved electronics, a huge project.

V6 Cayenne Diesel 3L 239HP/406lb-ft torque
V8 Cayenne S Diesel 4.2L 375 hp/627 torque
V10 Touraeg Diesel 309HP/553 torque, bad MPG and a nightmare to maintain: https://jalopnik.com/the-volkswagen-...are-1822934503
There is also a a Q7 V12 6L diesel 500HP/738 lb-ft torque: https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/...to/first-drive
The difference in torque between diesel and gas shouldnt be understated...while a Turbo S might have more torque on paper, its available much later. Diesel give more torque much earlier, and I cannot say enough good things about our V6 Cayenne Diesel. Plus, 35+mpg on highway (and this is without a tune). I have always thought Id import a V8 diesel and drop it in a Cayenne one day...
