nice site; don't forget they theres a good chance Audi will fit a V12 diesel to the R8 

yeah the race vid is really really good

aren't they meant to be going for the V10 which will still be a beast 

also the smaller displacement and lower horse power TDI A4, is quicker than the petrol A4

so DERV wins!!

No there not. That V12 was just a concept 'look at us' model. They will probs stick a V8 TDI in it.

hmmm thats different from what my Evo mag says this month    i can still dream kol

Not got mine yet, on the to do list.

I read on Auto-Car website (or something like that) that the V12 they showed off over in the states was just a concept and that the it wouldnt be econimicaly viable to build a box that could handle the torque a V12 derv would trow out.

haven't u subscribed yet!!?? in this months theres a nice 2 page article

there's a few bugs to iron out in that it will add weight and you'll lose the stowage space behind the seats.  But they want to use an all new DSG box which will be able to handle the torque

Article ends - 'Unless Audi catches a cold due to the global slowdown then bet on the V12 diesel R8 appearing in showrooms from mid 2010.  After all if Professor Piech can rubberstamp the 1000bhp Bugatti Veyron for production, doing the same for a diesel R8 should be a walk in the park'
