Audi R8 V-12 TDI Concept - Car and Driver

[GeckoMoria94]

@JOR1234567899 the engine can produce more horsepower but the transmition doesnt. thats why audi said they will never let go into production. they cant find an transmition that can handle 1000- 1300 nm that will fit in the car

[CASSINOx]

i don't like the front, should shorten those vent things

[JOR1234567899]

Sorry but you lost me at "ALMOST 500 horsepower" from a v12... really?

[Fisherdaz1]

@Alex2911 mate, that is a joke right? Your GT500 really wouldn't come close to this or the V10 R8. Don't get me wrong, i'm a big fan of all cars. My cousin has a Rousch Mustang running just shy of 500 bhp with all the trimmings (uprated brakes and suspension, further engine tuning so on and so forth) and i love it, can't wait to take it out again and it may just take an R8 V8 in a straight line but much beyond that it would be s**t out of luck.

[Harry13ification]

if I win the lottery on the 31 of December , I will buy an R8 :p

[DaGOAT2006]

i would love to write a letter of recommendation if i could get my hands on one ;)

[Alex2911]

Shit is weak, my GT500 would smoke it

[TheJugernaut94]

@Alex2911 your what? your american piece of shit car, that makes only sounds, and nothing else?admit americans japanese and german cars beated american cars.

[killerkan666online]

@Alex2911 hahahahahahaha shut up you melt :L

[iggnasio]

@Alex2911 Take your GT and drive to lake

[ralphM1114]

@Alex2911 yup... in a straight line... .... just that...

[andrademeza]

Sooo...audi said here take our new super car with a v12 engine in it but dont go fast...WTF kind of test drive is that?

[eventfularse]

@andrademeza Didn't you even watch the video?

[master7chief]

@andrademeza The kind of test drive you want to be able to finish......and not with a transmission thats been tied in a knot from all that torque.

[andrademeza]

@master7chief sorry i dont remember my original comment that your replying to.

[87zoko]

i love it

[RobakaBLaDEz]

i would give anything to get that car!!!!!!!!

[MidnightSun1986]

Audi, at least come out with that body kit.....the r8 would be unstoppable

[demosnipe1589]

If they made it with a V12. I would buy it.

[thekiller13666]

just one more thing i cant have

[boyhash1]

anyone else think it looks a whole lot like the Audi from "IRobot"? That'd be awesome!!

[Slleiman]

damn i want that so bad!

[pedro808]

Those doubting the diesel power plant the video makes reference to Audi's R10 diesel powered car winning back to back overall titles at 24HR of Lemans. Also its a car worth $1MM not a car with a sticker price of $1MM. Its price is so high being that this is a one off concept car....

[Hound419]

Diesel? Oh for f**ks sake Audi, I give up.

[wolfpackfan2317]

looks sick in red

[tHxNietiCz]

WttF! <3 The best Damn thing! My eyes haavee seen!<3

[ilovegmh]

bet my srt4 beats it hahahah jp sick car but blow plugs are like tampons every bitch has them

[TheDirtyStreetRider]

one million dollar and only 500 Hp , anothr FAIL

[goblis623]

@TheDirtyStreetRider lol go drive your prius

[vaikkajokutyyppi]

Look those boys faces! Haha! 1:22

[crashAshdene]

I really love it, but i personally would probly have taken another color/colour :), maybe white or black, but then again its also my fav colors

[JinPrimoX]

13 or 14 rph wtf

[Queball29]

@ranger518 its a protype TRANSMISSION on tranmitter ya dumb ass hahaha this things IS a BEAST!

[GOLMINER2]

v12 tdi in a Q7 is just sex on wheels

[panekoh]

That thing looks craazzzyyy

[ranger518]

wtf.. transmitter cant even handle the v12. wats the use of having a v12 in this car then, better get the normal r8 instead. much cheaper and safer(tranmitter wont blow up).

[TheSteinerJ]

@ranger518 it's a prototyp... Just a test of audi to experiance how the peolpe react on diesel sportscar.

[freecomptechreview]

well know I know what I should dream of driving tonight

[adnanalagic]

Ok, that's not a car that you drive 25 mph!!!!!!! Get on the German highways and get a speed kick!

[Chachisousa1090]

loved the car til he said it was a diesel -____-

[colwilhen]

@Chachisousa1090 you clearly no nothing about diesels

[Chachisousa1090]

@colwilhen i just like the sound of a "non-diesel" engine, thats the only reason

[Bjarturrrrr]

Diesel.

[sarzamineiran]

This engine is made for 24 Hour races, not to have fun. Diesel is the fuel of the Anti-Christ

[AkiKimura07]

@sarzamineiran oh shut up. diesel is cool. ish. in my hands, this thing would probably leave you and your car in diesel powered dust.

[vnzzzhy]

Driving this car slow is like fucking with a condom.

[spforsupergringo1980]

tdi got torque oh yeah

[lessyoureal]

@brianpaton

In the U.S., the states of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia require license plates only on the rear of the vehicle. All other states require both rear and front license plates.

[TechnikKev]

boom just fell in love with the car. give it to me and i will drive it the way it was build for ;)

[vaidulis0919]

whats the point?

[necter665554444]

Dear Santa..

[oddball1973]

want want want....

[5155BRad]

love audis and the R8 with a TDI would be sick to own. have both Q7 R8 with simular motors nice

[oehmes999]

dieses is cheaper than super plus ;)

[kez850]

I am only familiar with diesel engines in work trucks. What kind of revs are we looking at with this race-oriented diesel motor? It clearly has hella more torque than horsepower, so i'm assuming it's a low rever with very long gears.

[Rajatuje]

@kez850 everything about that statement is true, except for the fact that diesel engines tend to have really short gears.

[829509]

78 PPL DRIVE A BLUE PRIUS. :D

[Berryzation]

beautiful monster

[IpGianca]

i think he didn't push the accellerator

[trese0000]

I can't tell what significant changes they made to this one from the previous models, but I have to say this beast is way more of a beauty. It even looks good in red now, seems to be more dark and glossy instead of cheap looking.

[KoolCat12100]

this car looks like pure raw hardcore sex to me

[Donvitow]

Is it BioDiesel compatible?

[BUXIK1]

nice car,but .... are they crazy?? TDi??? V12 TDi??? R8 V12 TDi??? Only question why??? 5.2FSI V10 is much better than this sh*t engine

[nxyle]

where does the license plate on the front go?

[brianpaton]

@nxyle In the US you don't need a front license plate. Most people don't have them and those who do just have novelty pieces of plastic with their favorite sports team on it. Besides, its just a concept car.

[biqb]

@brianpaton Actually certain states require a front license plate.

[hzn4Ever]

Omg what a gorgeous car! I love Audi but the new r8 v12 blew my mind O:

[Shaelmar]

jo die ähnlichkeit mit veyron is schon verblüffend.... liegt wahrscheinlich daran das das auch VAG konzern ist.

[FUCK202]

diesel supercars are nice, unless theres a petrol version, which there is, and always will be

[Timeeee0815]

sound would be interesting.

[casbah1088]

swear this car look lyk 350 Z and bugahtti

[AngryBirdSEASONS]

@casbah1088

OMG dude i dont understand you man...this car does NOT at all look like a 350z or a Bugatti. They dont even have the same base line body =.= and bro u spelt bugatti with an "H"?!?! You dont get reply cause people dont bother to help you with youre probs...and here i am helping you.

[mrpepperoriginal]

Im not doing my homework... XD

[mattox]

very slick

[kongsingchiong]

so wow



[DKRaFiQ]

oh hell yeah... im definitely gona get behind the wheel one day :D damn... for the first time in the world... there can actually be an economic supercar! haha.. lets hope... keep up the ASTONISHING work Audi! go TDi!!

[SamiDullard10]

transmission not built to handle the engine? Once audi breaks own its over.

[crazyburrito1]

WAIT. There driving this beauty in NY? Just keep driving and don't stop.

[rrookie25]

v12 tdi

[alfieckc]

I'll get one for myself!!

[Howie262]

This has more Torque then 25 honda civics.........

[kingmanted]

@Howie262 Thats something to think about...hahaha

[jvhornsby]

@Howie262 lol and the funny thing is that most civic drivers think their car is better lol

[DragonInfraXtremeRGT]

@Howie262 lol why are u guys bashing at Honda . you cant compare Audi and Honda there two separate types of car . the only two good cars Honda ever built were the s2000 and nsx

[rvind92g]

@DragonInfraXtremeRGT And the Civic Type R.

[ARTaken007]

V10 is a better motor for a sport car, the v12tdi is more for big luxury car or suv

[myjanuary151987]

Damn, if they release this it will be like a storm, because no one has a powerful diesel engine like this.

[techno4evermix3000]

geiel karre ;)

[jpzhouutube]

like the audi, see mine:

/watch?v=UfBW6jNfgrU

[Timeeee0815]

@jpzhouutube

no'ones interested in having a r8 in a video game.

[ABostonElite]

why on every single super car video does some faggot have to write..."Dear Santa..." the jokes been made...so fucking gay

[IcanCuNowcanUCme]

I would be interested to see if it can even compare to a ZR1, performance-wise. No....it can't.

[kristianmoinsen]

fuck man....what a car

[iloveparc]

:44 same trailer as in Fast and Furious 4 when they were goin to Mexico to drive the load

[Travellinghobo2]

I don't really see the point, the only possible benefits of a diesel are good MPG and low emissions. Both of which will disappear when you start revving the bollocks off it.

[RaoulEmilian]

@Travellinghobo2 You forgot the huuge torque.

[radu10101992]

It's the fuel of Satan people!

[hybmu]

The Megan Fox of cars.

R8 and A5/S5 definitely have the best designs.

[DAVIDUBful]

I could have SEX with that car

[Titchify]

If I had the bucks, and Audi put it into production, I would have one tomorrow!

[cavaliersfan08]

... well with it being diesel it gained .03 in gas mileage

[cavaliersfan08]

@StateOfTheArts let me guess you drive a prius?

[connectingmusic1]

@cavaliersfan08 yeah he probably does drive a pruis, damn hippies. Why would anyone looking at an AUDI R8 be concerned about the gas mileage. I would figure that the V12 in the title doesn't scream "excellent gas mileage"

[cavaliersfan08]

@connectingmusic1 lmao i know what a dumbass... it's like, i fly an A-10 what is he going to bitch about then lol

[MsCrappants]

@StateOfTheArts green bastard no one cars about environmental damage

[steevyp]

0:15 TOWEL PLEASE!!!

[rock3tcat]

Hell yeah boi...Them crazy Germans are at it again!

[imzypops]

Diesel?!?!?!?! Flipping heck

[kegyota]

Yeah, the narrators need to STFU so we can actually HEAR the engine.

[cavaliersfan08]

@kegyota its not very much running at a low rpm

[ilovefightbaby]

omg if i was rich i don't buy ferrari or something I DERECTLY BUY THIS R8

[Counterweight91]

the r8 is an amazing car, but its so sad that they hold it back because of lamborghini. The r8 could be so much more

[Panch124]

Дизель заебись)))))))))))) Уже было, что дизельный болид на гонках порвал бензиновые)))) А те, кто думают, что дизель говно-просто не имеют ни малейшего представления о его возможностях)))

[fabjonjon]

already tired of the new prius commercial "the plural of Prius is Prii". They should switch it up especially since the last prius I had tried to have sex with my butt. You will never catch a Ferrari or Lambo doing that.

[a1rs0ftman]

who the hell would buy r8 with DIESEL?

[greekspartan91]

@a1rs0ftman i would diesel is far more efficient and powerful than gasoline engines

[a1rs0ftman]

@greekspartan91 if you want an efficient car get the damn blue motion polo..

[TheLastMag]

Screw the ugly spyder R8 design and make this! 35mph at idle !! rofl.

[Noobury]

how much is it in US dollars?

[SpitfireZero]

Oh chicken strip, you so crazy...

Oh wait, wrong vid! MY BAD

[abuomar09]

i live in MN USA i do carpet cleaning for living

i work 7 days a week i love diesel v12 tdi how can i buy one ?

i hate my boss ,,,,,,,

[gargameel007]

thats almost perfection

[tibby499]

germans are quite genius people `cause they were the only one to think of a v12 turbodiesel or a W16 engine (veyron ♥) ... :)

[TheRealFobican]

Looks R8 V10+v12? :)

[hemiisbest]

Nice car, but V12 derv?

[canadianaerospace14]

if they would have made this, imagine how good their diesel engine would be at this point.

[Riles07]

goddamn fucking Jeep commercials I'm never buying one just for this.

[stubbi]

And would kill to own one of these

[FL390]

THE NEED FOR SPEED!! 

[beethovenmetalhead]

driving this car so slow should be a crime

[MsOrsone]

@beethovenmetalhead V12 TDI is a concept, it has the normal 5 gear manual gearbox from Audi A4, they just can't go fast with this car because the gearbox would just explode! ;)

[firstyaaaa]

@beethovenmetalhead no mate that means you're the boss!

[TheGarvito]

@beethovenmetalhead no bro driving it slow is boss! if you have a super car. letting everyone pass...cause its obvious your faster

[rhanjaG23]

drive it slow while reving it here and there@beethovenmetalhead

[mstrchief43]

One of the most beautiful cars ever.

[Junyoung99]

i want this car when i grow up

[smsdry]

35 mph idol...

[MrToletsSweet]

omg!! let me hear the sound but not that piece of fuck!! OMG!!!!

[Salenson]

ohh shit fucking diesel

[jjrimz99]

imagine crashing tht

[cullum24]

Almost 500 Horses? Isnt v10 520?

[Zephaniah6101]

@cullum24 diesels arent about horsepower, they're all about torque

[cullum24]

@Zephaniah6101 Ohhh okay that makes sense. 

[bigM10231]

@cullum24 it has 800lbft torque so it dont matter

[Beemerboy324]

Sound of the car please! C&D did a lousy job on this story.

[ncenergey]

@Beemerboy324 did you hear him? he said they couldnt stomp the gas cuz the transmision couldnt handle the power and they were in traffic too dumb fuck



[saeidmomtahan]

This is car porn.

[Project4JDM]

A Concept they actually drive and not just sits in pictures Props but i would take a stock Audi R8 8.2 ++ in white any day over any car of the 21st century beside The New* SSC Ultimate Aero II number 2! look it up... new body style no bodykits but futuristic looking SSC Ultimate Aero II beauty......... over any Bugatti Veyron

[kuantheng]

[fortheloveoftunes]

[audiocable]

1:20 heads turn!
