Audi R8 V12 TDi Twin Turbo

[MCW]

Its here, the Audi R8 TDi. Its engine is inspired from the R10 diesel race car.

The diesel R8 comes with a 5.9 litre V12 Twin Turbo powerplant making it half a second quicker to 60 mph than the petrol and a top speed of "well over 186mph". While pumping out a massive 738lb of torque it still manages 23mpg!

mmmmmmmm R8 i want one soooo soooo bad.

[Mb]

Great car! I love it! :D Only one thing...

 

 

They should have changed the gearstick. (Spot the mistake)

[Camel]

how could they make a mistake like that and not notice

[Eudemon]

Boootiful car and if anyone can make a diesel sportscar it's got to be Audi, strange and brilliant they missed that gearstick though.

 

Ze Germans vill not be happy !

[MCW]

Its probably just the numbers on the gearstick are wrong but still!

[Baltoman]

whats wrong with the gearstick? I dont see nothing wrong.. someone tell me

[iBilo]

The reverse gear on the H box is the other side of what the top bit says on the Gear itself. And what a car tho. I want one. -drool-

[Baltoman]

OMG, LOL how do they not notice that? OMG thats so funny

[Telos]

I've never liked the R8. I think it looks awful. But diesel version of it is really fantastic. Sounds a bit weird but still awesome. Just as weird as the gearstick :)

[MCW]

The torque will be amazing though

[CptDarknuggets]

Aslong as it doesn't sound like an M5 when it starts up.

 

 

 

p.s I love BMW and the M series. But the M5 sounds like a diesel mondeo.

Here is a video of it 360 degrees on youtube

Its a very sexy car. You would acquire powers that are most excellent in meeting women.

[Baldy]

nice, very nice. I think i'm in love.

+- 1000nM!:excited:

Well it's a "Show Car" things like that do occasionally happen ... Audi have released it as a Concept

 

I love the style changes to the car ... V Nice

 

And Only 2 companies in the world could most probably make a half-decent diesel engine for a sports car ... the other is Peugeot

 

I wonder what both companies have in common <cough> diesel Le Mans car <cough>

 

I think you should put your order in now Baldred!!!!!

What has the world come too ????????

 

 

Its a sad state of affairs when people are fantasising (:badspelling:) over a DIESEL SUPERCAR (I hoped I will never have to say that :mad:!) :oook::eek::eek_blue: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Come on guys forget about the styling tweeks and the torque would you honestly by this over the petrol alternative ???????????????

 

I certainly wouldn't, diesel technology still has along way to come yet and by no means would I want a supercar that sounds like a lorry when I start it up.

[Mb]

I won't buy it neither. Ill just buy a Gallardo for that price :P

Yawn :eek: Theres nothing wrong with a diesel super car, more efficient, and so what if it sounds like a truck, it's still a super car, I'd rather have one of these over an American super car any day. (Waits for attack in reply)

 

I won't buy it neither. Ill just buy a Gallardo for that price :P

 

Sounds like a very good idea. Lets see what the future holds ey? ;)

Definately yes :)

I hope i made a good choice a year ago with the profile i had to pick at school. Now im going for Real Estate :)

[TDU 505]

hmmm both petrol and diesel look good

but here in s'pore diesel is only for heavy vehicles and taxis so im not really INTO the anti-diesel thing going arnd here

And yes M is the most powerful letter

:D

[Car Freak]

Lean, mean and very green...

 

Great concept, but they messed up the front styling a bit... I like it a lot, but ultimately I'm still a petrolhead, and thus would take a petrol R8 (but that engine in an A8 would be nice)

Diesel supercars don't sound like HGV's, i can assure you of that. The only thing it has in common with one is the amount of BHP it has.

 

Also it rumoured to have a Euro 6 engine to meet the 2014 regs which is advanced technology as Euro 5 is only just being used as standared in most production and you can still choose/buy a vehicle with euro 4 block.

The sad thing about this is that the R8 Diesel will outsell the Chevrolet Corvette in this country :eek::eek_blue::eek: :mad::mad::mad::mad: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Why ???????????????????????????????????????

 

 

There is a good thing to come out of this though I get to laugh at the perfetic excuse of a person who I see driving a R8 Diesel :excited: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And you know why they will out sell the chevvy. Because they are better. Anyway i'm not going to get into an argument.

I'll leave you to your childish posting, just because you don't like something, it is way over the top, i'm really starting to get fed up with your stupid replies.

As for laughing at people, that just makes you a perfetic person, sad sad sad i just don't know why you would do that as i know for a fact they will be laughing back.

So what if it's a diesel, it's an amazing car, and i can't see many people who would turn down the chance to own one of them.

 

Grow up Nige before people really start to get annoyed with your post.
