The Volkswagon group have released a light weight (for a diesel) V12 that produces 500hp and 738 lb-ft. it is in the Audi Q7 and one of the VW Touareg models.

Eventually some people will crash these cars and the motors will becomes available on the secondhand market.

Question is, who will be first to put one in an aircraft and what types of aircraft would best suit this engine?
