Cool Audi R8 V12 TDI concept

Also if the engine is unrestricted will produce 500BHP and 738 IB FT of torque.

Just a few years ago it was suggested by an expert that the future of performance cars would be Diesel powered.
Many suggested it would never happen.

It looks like he was right.

Can't see the V12 TDI being fun in the twisties due to the low rev range, but I bet in a straight line and over taking punch, it'll leave the V8 R8, and the uncoming V10 R8 for dead.

I like big grilles/mouths on cars.

Just think they have gone a bit OTT here

^^ Practical reasons:

"Cooling was an issue too, neatly addressed by incorporating massive air intakes in the nose, larger side-blades and extra scoops along the flanks, and a big NACA duct on the funky glass roof which channels air straight into the engine".

Looks bladdy great IMHO

I recon that would push a veyron 50-120mph.

That will be insane fast in a straight line. What torque do these 1000hp skylines have?

they have built it to sell diesel cars to the americans, all the hybrid 4x4's have been designed for the USA, europe has already gone down the diesel route, north america can't seem to grasp it

737lb torq
can't imagine what thats like when its on full charge

through the twisty's it should be very quick, less gear changes and massive exiting speed
you just need to learn to drive one properly
