  | Re: Official: Audi R8 V12 TDI Concept Judging by the highly detailed press release Audi will likely put this V12 monster into production. With such huge amount the torque a manual gearbox is not optimal because the clutch would be worn out in a short time period. |

| Re: Official: Audi R8 V12 TDI Concept  Audi jazzed up the company's happy sales numbers by letting Bryan Adams serenade the new TTS coupe (272-hp TFSI V-6 with Quattro, 0-60 in 5.4 seconds) with a rousing rendition of "The only thing that looks good on me is you." But what really rocked the crowd was the introduction of the R8 6.0 V-12 TDI. Just as it introduced the world's first diesel convertible in 1995, the first company to win LeMans with a diesel is launching the world's first diesel supercar. It's got the goods for superstardom: 500 horses, 738 pound-feet, 0-60 in 4.2 seconds en route to a top speed of about 185 mph, all while returning about 24 mpg and meeting California standards. Changes relative to the V-8 include larger grilles with mesh inserts, a fixed rear wing, big air scoops in the polished side blades and the glass roof, and red accents on the engine and in the interior. Looks to us like a car the supercar club will welcome. Diesel Superstar: Audi's new oil-burning R8 rocks the crowd | Auto Shows Blog at Motor Trend M

| Re: Official: Audi R8 V12 TDI Concept Wow it's ricey!! A tuner gone mad could not have done worse... As far as the motor is concerned...well I already gave my opinion on this subject. Strangely the video did not contain any noise of the engine??  All these videos normally make you hear the engine, but here...

| Re: Official: Audi R8 V12 TDI Concept This car still gives me a weird vibe, but I love it, especially the new roof and interior. After driving the V8 equipped R8, I can't wait to have a go at this.
