2008 Detroit Auto Show: Audi R8 V12 TDI by Inside Line

[Evansdotcom]

TDI does not have diesel in the acronym lol. Its Turbo Direct Injection

[goodvibrato]

I don't like how the v12 looks as much as the v10, but I'd still take it over a lambo.

[andopy]

WTF only 500hp I think the camaro can beat that hahahaha that car sucks

[theCROfna]

@andopy Did u ever heard for computer limit?

[andopy]

I think the camaro can beat the shit out that car WTF is the matter only 500 hp that's bull shit

[secretorganisation]

who cares about the speed,it looks good to me

if i want speed,i use a jet plane

[skenkens]

GTR runs from 0-60 only 3.3 Sec..!!!

[ToroQ3000]

Lol, it's actually faster after 30mph in acceleration.

[lasalleoaks]

0-60 sux 4 a v12

[m5bbmmww]

4.2 ro 62 mph??? with a V12? the 911 turbo with a boxer 6 cil in 3.7

[koukiR32]

Invincible eh? I just saw both Acura ALMS P-2 car beat Audi so call all mighty R10 TDI P-1(Suppose to be faster class) yesterday at Detroit Audi wasn't even close. Porsche and Acura both impress me with their performance. Can't wait to see the new Acura P1 car coming next year. LOL

[al395]

ANd I just saw Audi beat EVERYONE after starting 2 laps behind at Petit LeMans!! One of the best victories in racing history!!

Yes, Incredible!

[RobinthesunXXX]

this car cost 1,500,000$!!!!!!!

[Raydizzle81xx]

i always think is funny how they leave torque out of the equation. yea it makes 500 hp, but it probably making damn near 900 ftlbs, probably 850 to be safe. And to add to that diesels dont have to deal with detonation, so anyone could take that car and dump 40-50 lbs of boost assuming audi has made it as durable as diesels should be.

[almonds111133]

that car was so sweet when i saw it at the show....one of the coolest cars at the show actually

[RacerLamboMurcie18]

just sitting in that would give me shivers

(in a good way) loving the new body kit

[koukiR32]

I wonder why they don't start it up at the show. Like the Mazda Furai. LOL.. cause it would probably choke everyone to death when it starts LOL.... Can't stop wondering what those people who actually buy one for $200k. And wakes up to a smelly blue/white smokes until it warms up and sounds like a london taxi. LOL..

[Lemantech]

you have no idea about the new diesels do you?

[sfwdcivic]

if you had a choice of being locked up in a garage with one of these new technology diesel cars or a gasoline powered car running at idle it would be smart to pick the diesel car. They run so damn clean. I take it u know very little about common rail technology or even diesel mechanics.

[koukiR32]

Enlighten me... pls.

[sfwdcivic]

(R32 quote)"sounds like a london taxi" watch videos of the tdi race car on a track, when it passes by u hear wind noise more than anything else. (R32 quote)"smelly smokes until warm" Find a new diesel car like a Honda 2.2 diesel or new VW tdi's, wipe the inside of the tailpipe. Still don't think this will help u!

[HeroghtOfTheNi]

1000nm of torque at 1500rpm... that will leave an mark in any petrol powered factorycar owners ego.... that car kicks ass!

[Son37Lumiere]

Diesels run much cleaner than gasoline engines and get much better fuel economy.

[mrbenyong]

nice, but those chrome wheels, errrgh

[kolyakolya]

Yea that diesel is a twin turbo, there is always some room for boosting up the PSI.

[TenshiR]

i love that car.
