R8 gets V12 diesel
Audi is bringing an R8 that packs a turbo-charged diesel V12 to the Detroit auto show, according to published reports in Europe. The report of the R8 V12 TDI concept runs counter to widespread speculation that the R8 would receive a V10 much like the one found in its Lamborghini Gallardo cousin.
Audi's decision to slide a diesel V12 into the R8 shouldn't be too much of a surprise, since the automaker's latest performance diesel exploits the technology from its R10 prototype racer that won last year's Le Mans 24 Hours.
