Audi R8 V12 Diesel! Awesome ... [PIC]
 

Was just checking out Audi's website and see they have announced a V12 Diesel version of the R8.

The V12 TDI engine. with a displacement of six litres generates 500PS and 1,000 Nm of torque.

Apparently it will do around 26MPG!

Makes the standard R8 look a tad 'plain'

Damn that's beautiful :thumbsup

hmmm.. that car is HOT!

wow, ahould be a law against calling that one just a car. Has to be a better word :)
Some great rides from audi`s hand lately

The car is ugly as hell when you look at it from the side. It looks like a deformed Dolphin with that big nose sticking out.

thats is one piece of HOT CAR!!!

looks good to me?

looks like crap to me

I really like this one actually !! :thumbsup

thats one hot audi car :)

a diesel engine in a sports car, who would have thought that 10 years ago. but they won Le Mans with that engine 2 or 3 times now, so it's obviously good enough

diesel :Oh crap:Oh crap

this is definitely my next car :thumbsup

It fucking ROX!

I want one.

price tag, price tag?

it looks as it could fly, really impressive

There is still an 18 month waiting list here for the petrol one.

Hauls ass, very dependable and doesn't suck as much fuel.

A guy in my house owns one. He looks ugly, but his car is awesome. I wonder what girls would prefer :)

recent survey showed that according to women this is the sexiest car right now, also they don't get turned on by guys with big 4x4s but rather sport cars, and last but not least you have a better chance to score if your car is clean and tidy even if its not the latest model in the market

so fucking hot

WOOOOOOOW! Very niceeeeee!!!

Best looking Diesel I have ever seen.

great car but i prefer 911 turbo 8)

very nice

Whats the redline on that engine?

It's a diesel.. so what 4k rpm? :1orglaugh

Audi makes great cars....this one looks really cool!

looks really nice!

I'd take it!:)

Would do a nice wallpaper! :thumbsup

that thing looks insane

likely another great diesel engine that will never see the light of day in north America :(

That beast looks like a monster - I LIKE!!

wow that does look hot !!!

That is a beast. I fucking love it ...

so true ... but diesel technology has develoved very much since the last 10 years.

But it still just does not fit the sports car image ... imo :2 cents:

I'd love to hear it pull up to a stop light next to me... Diesels just sound so badass

I think this car is so dam hot it is not even funny, it is a beauty for sure.

Beautiful car but I would probably spend the money on something more exotic.:2 cents:

Damn fine looking car!

beautiful car

I love the R8 and you can't argue with the numbers but what would it be like driving a VTEC in reverse?
You keep it between 1000-4000rpm!

I have an old (12yo) Turbo-diesel VW Golf, and the red line is as 4600rpm.
On that brand new piece of technology, I'd VERY much doubt it's anywhere below 5500-6000rpm or even higher...

sweet.. I had an audi a6.. and love it

that is fucking bad ass

mmmmmmm, I love this car!

Thats a really nice car.

What a fucking great car :)

Audi has some balls coming up with a diesel engine in a sportscar.
But hey, Stats don't lie. That engine beat the hell out of all Le Mans competitors for the last couple of years.

And 500 BHP / 1000 Nm of torque are simply mind blowing.

I rememeber talking to you about this car at the Sinners party at webmaster access Amsterdam. Go get one. NOW!

Oh and about the looks. Simply perfect. i got to drive one some time ago (4.2 V8) and It mmakes more heads turn that a Ferrari trust me.
