2008 Detroit Auto Show: Audi R8 V12 TDI by Inside Line

Description

www.edmunds.com Yes, that's TDI, as in "diesel." This R8 is powered by a diesel. Not just any diesel, but a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 diesel generating 500 horsepower. It's the same engine featured in the Audi Q7 V12 TDI, a 60-degree V12 that is somewhat related to the one that has powered Audi's R10 endurance racecar to two outright victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. We're pretty sure that the R8 V12 TDI represents the first time a diesel V12 has been placed in a midengine all-wheel-drive two-seater. Feel free to correct us if we're wrong.
