Audi R10 TDI, Road America, 2006. I was halfway into a piece of pie and nearly missed the leaders coming around. Yanked the camera up and didn't even look through the viewfinder. I bought a lottery ticket the same day. More »

Proving once and for all that it hates freedom, Audi has begun selling a 44 MPG (US) version of the A5 in Europe, but not here. The Audi A5 2.0 TDI makes 170 HP and 258 lb-ft at just 1,750 RPM. Mated with a standard six-speed manual, that means it can hit 60 MPH in just 8.3 seconds, too. A classy coupe that’s almost as efficient as a Prius and comes with a manual? I say we invade.

As a brand that has been building their image as a manufacturer of premium diesel engines, it comes as no surprise that Audi is reportedly considering bringing the A3 2.0 TDI to the US market. The A3's 2.0-liter diesel engine makes 140 HP and 236 lb-ft of torque, and is good for an average of 29 MPG in the city and 40 MPG on the highway. Though there's also a 170 HP version, and we're sure there's plenty more power that can be squeezed out of the little oilburner with some aftermarket tuning. Sure, you could just get a VW Jetta TDI with the same powerplant, but we're sure there are a few people out there who would enjoy a more upmarket fuel-sipping small car. [via MotorAuthority] More »

It's strongly rumored the diesel version of the Audi TT could find its way stateside. With that in mind, the boys over at Popular Mechanics packed their bags and boarded a midnight plane to Blighty to try one out. In a cable back to their New York HQ, they report the oil-burning 2008 Audi TT 2.0 TDI is smooth, refined and makes overtaking easy as a wiggle of your big toe. Exclusively available in the UK with a 6-speed manual, they calculated their average fuel economy during a mix of city and highway driving to be 39.1 MPG (US). That's while making 258 lb-ft and reaching a top speed of 140 MPH, mind you. Please, god of cars, bring us this beautiful torque-heavy 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Please! More »
