By now I'm sure you, like me, have read all the other reviews and first drives. This one has a few more tidbits of technical detail.

They keep talking about how it has 4 more coolers than the Z06. Twelve Vs 8. I am having trouble counting coolers on my car and I think the marketing people are doing a double count.
My count shows: 1)the main radiator, 2)the secondary radiator for M7 or front transmission cooler for the A8, 3) engine oil cooler, 4) AC Condenser 5) Charge cooling radiator, 6) Left rear quarter transmission cooler, 7) right rear quarter differential cooler, 8) left side supercharger charge cooling brick, 9) right side supercharger charge cooling brick for a total of 9 coolers on the Z06. Of course the charge cooling bricks and the charge cooling radiator are just different parts of one system as are the engine oil cooler and the main radiator in the case of the A8 plus the secondary radiator in case of the M7. The question is how are they doing the count and what are the 4 so called added coolers?

- Two auxiliary radiators
- Two heat exchangers
They are packaged together on each side. I had a picture at one point. Will look for it...
EDIT:
Found it.
