That is one architecturally tall nose, the lower side skirts look all wrong...

nice job Audi on makking a good looking car look stupid

......

then there is the whole Diesel V12 thing... soot isn't so fun, doesn't sound good... but should be respectably fast.

Seriously uncool. Al Gore wouldn't have a problem driving this car, and you can't get much less cool then Al Gore.

Wavering between cool and uncool. It should be cool by default, but as nth pointed out, they made it look taller for no reason and as awesome as that V12 TDI is, it will never be as cool as a petrol V12. Even so, it should be stinking fast, and that NACA duct on top is an awesome throw back to the Avus concept.

Even if I don't consider the diesel engine, which I believe just makes cares uncool by default, they've redesigned what was a very cool car to look bad. Uncool.

That V12 TDI is one hell of a Torque monster and also has anybody watch the Audi R10 TDI in action. its flat out amazing and Audi's TDi engines don't sound like tractors lol..

Audi R8 = cool... TDI V12 from the R10=cool
so a Audi R8 V12 TDi = Subzero.
