Audi R8 V12 TDI Study heading to the Detroit Show

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
