Audi R8 V12 Driven

03.04.2008
Auto Express magaizine in the UK have a feature drive of the new V12 Diesel R8...

"It's one of the world's sexiest cars - and now the Audi R8 is even more special. Because beating beneath the dramatic rear glass cover of this version is a diesel engine! The 6.0-litre V12 isn't just one of the fastest oil-burners the firm has ever built - it means the R8 is the quickest, most powerful car of its type on the planet, too."

Full report here. Video clip here

It would be very cool if they decide to bring this car to production line. As far as I know (maybe I have missed something) it is still just a concept. Maybe that also explains why 0-60 takes 4.2 seconds that is rather dissapointing when there is 1000 nm burst of power on all four wheels.

Georg 13.04.2008
Auto Motor und Sport claimed in their last edition that in first half 2008 the Audi managing board determine if they build it or not. In the english speeking press they already claim it is a no go, that is a wrong information. Not to forget that 68% of all Audi concept cars went realy in production the chance to see that getting in the production line are pretty high

Wads 14.04.2008
The UK Motoring press think it will definately go into production....

It's on the news that Audi will be releasing petrol V10 version (~520 hp) of R8 later this year. No diesel car, I am afraid.

Georg 17.05.2008
The V12 is not dead... currently Audi is examining if they can build their midengine DSG tranny able to deal with 1000Nm for a acceptable price or not. If the 1000Nm DSG gets green light the V12 TDI will most likely go in production. If the 1000Nm DSG gets green light it become the standart tranny for all current and future Vlokswagen midengine cars... Gallardo, Murcielago, R8 and possible Porsche Bugatti midengine cars..

rice 18.05.2008
in my opinion the shouldnt use a v12..they should use a v10 because not many cars this day and age use v10 and i would like to see more of them. i personally dont like v10s but more would be cool im thinkin a 5.2l v10 tt in this baby 535 bhp 500 tq hell yeahh..lol
