Maybe not a supercar but it's sportcar tyc.

True, but big difference if you ask me.

Well it looks like a supercar and goes like a sportscar.

Of course it's different but the fact is that the first thing you are expecting from a super car or a "super sport car" is maximum driving pleasure.

Well said, but if you ask me CGT, SLR, Zonda and such qualify as supercars, the R8 doesn't! Therefore, this diesel engine in R8 i don't mind at all, but a diesel in a CGT or Zonda? Now, that would be a disaster, wouldn't it?

Hope you get what i mean...

I get it but i and cool raoul think that even for a car with the level of sportiness of an R8, a diesel isn't suited.

Why you're so sure there won't be any driving pleasure?

Mate, you know i've been driving a diesel car, 1,7 ton... And one much lighter, more agile, much lighter R8 with Wankler's engine and a Nissan 350Z can do nothing against my car... Even when put on track.

Tell me there's no fun in this:



It may not sound like a petrol, but there's driving pleasure, more than i need in my poor, stinky, 3.0d TT...

There's 1st time for everything and in this Audi's case at least it's interesting and i'm eager to see the outcome, but forgive me for being so confident in this whole project. (I admit there's a dose of diesel admiration/bias by me... )

I pick R8 V8 over R8 v12 becuase I like to reev high and I like to use my stick a lot, that's driving pleasure to me. scrw the diesel and give the car a highreeving biturbo instead Let the posers drive Diesels (Ty)

In this type of car, i'd too take high revving V8 (bi-turbo or not) over V12 diesel, absolutely... It's just that i don't share opinion with some about the whole thing/idea being pointless and nonsense.

Lol, Andreas...
