Just saw this..looks nice to have a torque monster R8..but 4.2 isnt that good from a 1.000Nm v12..
|
Not surprised to see this at all....Finally an engine worthy of the R8 name as it is a celebration of the Racing R8's....Not really feeling the body kit however....Cant wait to see the numbers...
|
Hmmm. 500hp supercar with no trunk and a diesel engine that does 23 mpg...
But it does have 738 lb ft of torque... But it's not that much faster than the normal R8, is it? (of course!) ...I'm split on this. I know. Stick a R10 badge on it, and I'll get it! |
I like it..Yes..but I'm not sure how to take it.
Like HeilSvenska said.........no trunk....23mpg......because of the beefier engine it will need beefier compenents so it will be heavier. Its already 220lbs heavier just due to the engine. I dont think this will be worth the premium. Not at all. |
why a diesel engine in this price segment, makes no sense other than as a study, who would buy this car ... a biturbo V10 would make much more sense as the next step for R8

It's not pretty, but it still looks great. I suppose this could give us a hint on what the RS version might look like. ...maybe without that big wing and the Avus-inspired glass roof with that big honking NACA duct on it, which is a nice touch.

Looks pretty good, a little contrived as far as the rear wing and the small portholes that line the edges of the grilles in the front airdam, but otherwise significantly more aggressive and purposeful than the standard car and the V12 looks good in that engine bay...espeically with the carbon brace...probably kills rear visibility though...
|
I like the looks very much. It 's more agressive than a standart R8 which is also very nice. I just fear that the V12 won't sound "good"
|
Revealed at the 2008 NAIAS:
http://www.motorauthority.com/news/c...aled-at-naias/ High-resolution pictures: http://www.netcarshow.com/audi/2008-r8_v12_tdi_concept/ It looks stunningly aggressive! I fear though that the production version (if it gets the green light) will be severely toned down. |
|
let's hope it looses that stupid chrome trim on the bottom, that just looks rediculous. apart from that i'm all for it :) it's great!

Audi R8 V12 TDI
This new Audi V12 TDI Study look ok. To me?. First time making Audi R8 supercar Mid-engine.
|
I loved this car. I completely disagree with some thinking 4.2 seconds to 100km isn't enough based upon the power numbers. That's amazing for a diesel, regardless of torque. Remember that there is no time component to figuring torque, only horsepower. That's why you can't judge how quick a car should be based upon torque numbers. For a car with 500hp, 4.2sec is quite reasonable, and 24mpg is fantastic for anything with 12 cylinders, regardless of displacement or hp. I don't think this car was built to sell R8s, I think it was built to showcase what they can do with a TDi engine and did so with a flashy package in order to get publicity. As far as I can see it worked.

An Audi that is over done, not over engineered.
What happens when you take a styling pen, and end up adding things and ultimately... you are never done, even when the curtain drops. I'm heavily reminded of those tasteless Japanese body kits to otherwise good looking sports cars. Sorry Audi, but you did it wrong :( |
looks like a BEAST!!
|
i have a question,do we have any gallery with high resolution wallpapers? anywhere do you know?(1600x12000) thanks
