 http://jalopnik.com/344272/detroit-a...8-v12-tdi-live Just Found out a new r8 will coming out and will be more powerful than the last one  :  :  : Take a look at the most extreme diesel car ever built! One of the biggest stars of this year’s Detroit Motor Show is Audi’s mighty new R8 V12 TDI. Powered by a thunderous twin-turbo 6.0-litre V12 powerplant, the oil-burning supercar promises to be even faster than its petrol powered sibling. A huge 493bhp and an earth-shattering 1,000Nm of torque will make this Audi a true thriller. The sprint from 0-62mph takes only 4.2 seconds – 0.4 seconds ahead of the petrol model. Thanks |

Gotta love the conservative claims of Audi. The petrol model has done 3.9 sec 0-100 yet they claim 4.6.
Expect something like 3.3-3.5 for this one.

Will they still have the N/A V10 as well? I think that is a more viable production option than a TT V12 Diesel.

I wonder what the extra weight of the diesel would do to the cars handling...
But agreed, this car has awesome looks.
