Audi R8 TDI
The Audi R8 is huge success for Audi and they are selling them like umbrellas on a rainy day but the most significant value for Audi is probably the increased attention on the brand and the resulting increase in sales of more standard cars.
For those rich enough to have anything to complain about on the Audi R8 they all say that they want more power, whats the solution? Well Audi thinks they can bend down a V12 TDI engine in the R8 and do some design changes to make the car look more evil.
The V12 TDI engine is taken from lasts year Q7 concept car which was 6.0L V12 Diesel. The new engine shreds 0.5 seconds of the 0-60 mph time which is now 4.2 seconds. The V12 TDI delivers about 500 horsepowers, but the interesting figure is the 738 lb-ft of torque which is class leading. Another interesting fact is that the car does 23 MPG which is about 1 liter/10 km, thats impressive.
