Cool Audi on diesel offensive

Coming soon to 2008 A4's, A5's and A6's.

Engine specs.

3.0 TDI V6
Quad Turbo (two small two big)
350HP

Also

3.0TDI V6 BlueTec

Ultra clean diesel to meet extremely stringent US regulations. (which equals much much less emissions)

260hp for this unit

BlueTec technology also applied to 2.0TDI making 204hp.


Now that audi diesel engines are being refreshed BMW is in big doo doo

And lets not forget audi's upcoming V12 TDI with an output of 500 bhp and 738 ft.-lbs.



Doesnt look good for the competition does it

It does because they'll spend all the money getting the dials looking nice and forget to spend any money on the chassis development.

Audis remind me of the US Army - Tonnes of firepower but no idea how to use it.

At least I own a car.

I don't borrow a Ford Transit and a £2k old battered Merc.

And said 500bhp Audi will blast anything off.
Then crash into the next wall.

Is that how audi wins every racing championship its enters, by crashing into walls? I personally thought quattro was there precisely to stop such things

What a joke

You do know that BMW pay EVO right

In germany audi wins more awards for sporting cars in 2006 than BMW did. And the new audi's have been beating the new comparable BMW's hands down in comparos and more importantly around the racetrack.

I'm off to argue with a nearby brick wall.

It listens more.
It responds more.
It is far cleverer.

It's driven more Audis than you.

Just wait till its independenly tested then by sport auto. RS4 at 1700kg is not far off the race prepared CSL. The R8 which is lighter and sportier will be faster.

And the R8 will still have a nice interior whilst doing so, unlike the race track ready CSL.

Okay lads, he's on the floor.
Shall we give him a last kick in the head or just leave him there to bleed?

Hang on, he's trying to get back up for more!

Jon - give him a last kick.

Nice one - some people never know when to back down.

The R8 was independently tested by another magazine! 5 SECONDS SLOWER!! The CSL is was not race prepared, but factory standard, that is how Sport Auto test the cars! There's not escaping it AudiLooser, like your brain, AUDI's are SLOWER, thats right, S L O W E R ! !

You can talk about peoples brains when you cant even compute the simple english that im typing.

M3 CSL = A road legal track car on semi slicks, simple as that.
RS4 = Fast luxorious 4 door car on road tires
R8 = Luxurious premium sports car on road tires

When the R8 got tested on semi slicks, like ALL M3 CSL times are the R8 is FASTER!!!!!!!!!!

Yes and the R8 has two seats and is an out and out "super" car.
The M3 CSL is ALSO a damn fine saloon.

I thought you were a freelance journalist. You dont make that, otherwise you wouldnt be living in cornwall, as there is nothing to report there, and you wouldnt drive a crappy astra. And you wouldnt have said that a 30 grand car is a expensive car to you.

You have been caught out, liar
