FRESH FROM RIPPING UP THE LE MANS RACING rulebook with the diesel-powered R10 TDI, Audi is exploring the possibility of breaking yet another mould with a road-going TDI supercar based on the R8. The R8 V12 TDI Concept made its debut at Detroit a couple of months ago, replacing the production sports car's mid-mounted petrol FSI V8 with a 12-cylinder TDI endowed with an incredible 1000Nm of torque. The 6.0-litre twin-turbo V12 with almost 500bhp is similar in concept to the R10 TDI's 5.5-litre race engine guaranteeing a 4.2-second 0-100kph acceleration time and a max speed in excess of 300kph. Phew!
Thankyo for reading.
